CHANDLER, AZ - Chandler police say a 27-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the groin outside a grocery store Tuesday night.

It happened in the parking lot of the Fry's Food Store at Elliot and Alma School roads.

According to the police report, the man had his fiancee's pink pistol tucked in the front waistband of his pants when the gun accidentally fired.

The bullet hit the man's penis and then went through one of his legs.

He was then taken to the hospital and underwent surgery.

1. Always use a proper holster...

And I recommend OWB carry.

3. omg. I used to live in Chandler, AND I owned a pink pistol!

:rofl:

okay.. it was only pink pearled handle.. the barrel was chrome. ALL pink is just tacky.
None of my BFs were stupid enough to shoot their dick off with it tho!

4. Behaving in a half-cocked manner can be risky.

"Police said it's not clear how bad the injuries were but called them non-life threatening".

Not threatening, but certainly life changing.

Not a good move, Wyatt.

5. But he needed it to protect himself from the "Crab Criminals"

6. Okay, I have to ask...

Why he was carrying his fiancee's gun?

7. My guess?

And strictly a guess - He was going to knock the place over, or he was one of those people that can't take three steps without carrying a gun.

He'll have time to rethink it now.

8. which one was the fiancée's?

Doug Krick? (I'm sure there must be others ...)

9. I think we've heard this one before

Except in that thread, it was supposedly Surprise, AZ, not Chandler. But what are the chances of two men shooting themselves in the genitals with a pink handgun in the same county in the same week?

10. Yeah, but controllers never pass up an opportunity to talk about...

penis. Strange, how they seem to get up on the topic, even as a re-run.

11. "Get up"?

12. Who me? Can't be, can't be. nt

13. Man accidentally shoots own penis with pink pistol

Why Joshua Seto, 27, of Chandler, Ariz., felt it was a good idea to stuff his fiancée’s pink pistol into the waistband of his pants before going to Fry's Food Store is unclear. According to ABC15, Seto packed his fiancée’s pink handgun in the waistband of his pants to get ready for a trip to Fry's Food Store in Phoenix. The gun went off, all but severing Seto's penis and injuring his left thigh. I found it here: Man accidentally shoots own penis with pink pistol. The authority should really advise gun owners with its safety measures to prevent accidents like this.

14. I love how befitting your name is for your first post.

Welcome to DU!

More on topic, there is already a great amount of gun safety education, and trigger discipline is the first thing that's always covered. This fool chose to remain ignorant right up to the point he jammed that thing into his pants. No amount of advisement in the world could have prevented this, because - and Ron White said it best - you can't fix stupid.
