Fun With Guns: Winkie Edition
Shawnee, Kansas, Where guns don’t shoot your penis off, people have a do-it-yourself kit.
Yeah, some unnamed man was being a badass when the gun in his pocket took care of that.
Police were called to an apartment in the Fox Run apartments, 10300 block of West 77th Street, just after 12:10 a.m.
Johnson County Med-Act transported the man to an area trauma center reporting he had shot his penis.
The man’s injury was described as serious, but not immediately life-threatening.
Sgt. Wilburn said police are still investigating exactly what happened and where it happened. The man did not tell police much about the incident.
Yeah, I suspect that after, “I shot myself in the winkie,” there’s just not much else to say.
Thanks to Jan for the heads up.
OMG! Johnson County!!!! ROFLMAO!!!! (Sorry, Mama!)
1Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just… YEEEEOUCH!
2I have so much trouble with this story. I am, well, old. I’ve owned guns since elementary school. I have never put a handgun in my pants pocket. I never saw my sainted father put a handgun in his pants pocket. Where do these gun-twiddlers even think up these inherently dangerous acts? This isn’t careless it is careless stupid. My G*d who could have predicted such a high percentage of the adult American populace was soooo f’ing stupid? so intentionally careless?
3Not dead, but still…Darwin at work it would seem.
4Sounds like the old drill sergeant mantra “ this is my rifle and this is my gun” needs updating. Now, if only his Winkie had a gun…

On the other hand, this is James Shaw, Jr.’s public statement on his “non-hero” hero status. Didn’t need a gun to do it either.
6Micr, one of the commonplaces of past times was the frontiersman with mangled hands. The Pennsylvania rifle, you see, was just the right height to put your hands over and lean on while having a palaver. Careless stupid is the Glocksucker default
7Micr: Where do these gun-twiddlers even think up these inherently dangerous acts?
Keep in mind most of these guys have never read a book and everything they know is either from their lowlife buddies or something they saw on TV or surfed on the web. Maybe a movie. Then it becomes fairly clear.
8“What are you, some sort of a sharpshooter”. Geena Davis
9Micr, Like you, I’ve owned, and was (very) properly initially trained with firearms by WWII vets under an early govt-NRA program at a young age.
I think that many of these careless aholes today probably see too much really unsafe gun handling portrayed on TV and in movies. Looking at old programs on TV sometimes, you see many examples of yoyos shoving handguns into their pants’ waistband without a care, and there are many other unsafe practices portrayed too.
That said, this Kansass jerk should be getting his Darwin Award soon (Still Living, self-neutered class).
10And likely a new nickname: Stubby…or Shorty.
It is evident to me that women just don’t understand the travails that we men must suffer. Life is much more difficult when you have parts at risk in hunting accidents. Or just wearing pants around sometimes. Self bobbiting is probably not much fun.
11“Who could have predicted such a high percentage of the adult American populace was sooo f’ing stupid?”
Were you here for the last election?
12chester–“self-bobbiting” ? I *love* it!
Buttermilk–yeah, that’s what I was thinking, too…
13“The man’s injury was described as serious, but not immediately life-threatening.”
Are they implying that he might shoot himself more permanently after he registers that he shot his favorite toy off?
14I imagine that the cops who responded had reactions bouncing back and forth between snickering at this idiot, and cringing the you do when you see somebody get hit in the crotch.
15Micr and Sandridge:
16If you haven’t already, checkout Jim Wright’s website Stonekettle Station. He’s retired navy, a firearms instructor, and has severely pissed off the N.R.A.
I. Am. Not. Sympathetic.
17P.P., thanks, I do read Wright’s most excellent website, tells it like it is, no bull, and pulls no punches, suffers no fools (which is purty near all of today’s Rethugs).
18The NRA was once a decent, useful org, then the RWNJ’s corrupted it.
Many years ago, I had a woman friend who was a nurse in an onsite clinic at a very large manufacturing plant. One afternoon a wise guy employee who brought a handgun to work was ambulanced in after committing a similar self-injury. She took one look at him and wailed, “How do I bandage THIS??!”
19Sandridge:
20Yeah, the best I can tell, the second amendment ammosexuals took over, and then the firearm/ammunition lobbyists hooked up for a match made in gunsmoke prosperity hell.
I’ll say again what I think is probably a sentiment At N.R.A. headquarters.
I love the smell of gunsmoke in the morning. It smells like prosperity.
@Buttermilk Sky
In my head I limited my comment to that subset of the populace that seems bound and determined to “self-bobbit”. I acknowledge your point about those who voted for Drumpf in 2016. For them I’d prefer they stuck the barrel of their favorite firearm in their mouth, ala Kurt Cobain, and pull that trigger.
21It had to occur in Johnson County, really!
