OOOOOuch
Self defense ain’t all that easy with a gun. This is in Pennsylvania.
A 27-year old man was injured early Wednesday morning in Harrisburg after accidentally shooting himself during a robbery attempt. The man had been visiting a friend in the area of the 900 block of North 3rd Street when he was approached by a robber, demanding the victim hand over his valuables.
The victim attempted to pull a gun out of the waistband of his pants when it accidentally went off, hitting him in the groin. He was rushed to Hershey Medical Center for emergency surgery. Police found drug paraphernalia in the victim’s clothing.
Thank goodness both the perp and the victim had guns. I’d hate to see a drug deal gone bad without a little firepower involved. To the groin.
Cuts down on birth control costs.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
If we could figure how to insure this happening more often, gun control would become unnecessary…
1According to the NRA, this shouldn’t have happened because there was a good guy with a gun to stop the bad guy with a gun. Trouble is the “good guy” wasn’t all “there” due to the drugs and now he’s missing even more than his mind. Pennsylvania has its own share of idjuts.
2Darwin Award winner? Contender? I guess we need the results of the hospital stay.
3The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to shoot yourself in the groin. Wait a minute…
4Or, hold my beer, watch this.
5I want to know what happened to the perp. Did he hurt himself when he fell down laughing and rolled all over the ground? *schnort*! I wonder which one of ’em called 911? These bozos. Gawd.
6No Darwin Award, unfortunately, because it doesn’t appear that he eliminated HIMSELF from the gene pool. Depending on his aim, he still may deserve an honorable mention for obliterating his own gene pool.
7It hurts now but it will hurt even more when he gets back with his buddies. That is if they can stop laughing long enough to razz him.
8But you can’t say he was robbed–now can you? Shooting himself in the groin turns out to have been a pret-ty savvy move, if you ask me! The robber ran off when the EMTs arrived, didn’t he?
9If they nail him for the drugs, doesn’t that mean they take his gun away ’cause he is a criminal and he won’t pass the background check any more? Now THAT would be Karmic justice!
10Did he shoot the tiny thing off?
