Man Shoots Himself In The Crotch (VIDEO)

Man Shoots Himself In The Crotch

First Posted: 08/08/11 06:58 PM ET Updated: 10/08/11 06:12 AM ET

It's the worst crotch shot since the Anthony Weiner scandal.

Police in Chandler, Ariz. say a 27-year-old man shot himself where the sun don't shine.

The man had his fiancee's pistol tucked into his waistband when the gun accidentally fired, ABC15 reports.

The gunshot hit his penis and went through one of his legs.

He's not the first man who suffered after making the cocksure decision to carry a gun in his waistband.

In 2008, a robber inadvertently shot himself in the groin while trying to make off with cash from a convenience store, the Associated Press reported.

Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress had a bit of waistband trouble that same year when his gun fell down his pants leg and fired, hitting him in the thigh.

WATCH reaction to the Chandler shooting below and read a humorous summary of said reaction at Warming Glow.

Apparently I'm the only one here having difficulty finding humor in this poor guys ordeal. You people have 0 respect for your fellow person apparently. If it was a woman people would be laughing I mean c'mon that's just stupid. The only positive thing i can say is that at least the gun didn't shoot him in a place that could have killed him. I hope this guys comes out of this okay and with a new founded knowledge for gun safety.

Why did he need a gun in the grocery store. Abusive veggies?

I love these stories, and they seem about as regular as the 6 o'clock news.

Cocksure? Oh, aren't we CUTE! BTW, "where the sun don't shine" is up the rear end, not the crotch.

Where do you dig up these "writers"?

Errrrrrrr......the sun doesn't shine on my crotch either. Maybe you are built differently.

That is why you always assume the gun you have is loaded and ready to fire........

He should have let her carry it in her purse. That model (1911) needs to have the safety on when hammer is cocked. I guess he didn't look! Gun safety 101!

Carrying a Model 1911 style .45 pistol in what is called the half cocked "safety" position is very unsafe as this unfortunate man discovered as he, himself, is now half cocked.
