On a somewhat lighter note: Police urge holster use after man shoots his own penis

If you are going to carry, try not to blow your own dick off with your girlfriend's pistol.

Are pink guns now going to be known as penis blasters?

See!! Only "Only Ones" like Lee Paige should be allowed to carry guns! Special Agent Paige didn't shoot his own dick off. He merely shot himself in the foot.

Mere mortals will only hurt their sex lives by carrying guns.

Important safety tip. Don't cross the streams. Thanks, Egon.

This isnt the first time that has happened. That is how Plaxio burris got himself in trouble. And I believe it was either on an NRA website or maybe a gun rights examiner column that said the same thing in the aftermath......loaded handguns belong in holsters, not waistbands. I agree with this, but I must admit, I am guilty of packing my revolver in my waistband from time to time.......but in the back, with the shirttail over it...........so I will get shot in the ass, not the dick

They're thinking of charging the guy? Seriously? Shooting through his member wasn't enough?

I guess it's becoming more and more a universal truth....the government will find something, anything to charge you with in most interactions with the police.

I *HATE* this crap: "...the gun fired..."

BULL-$#!+!!

The damn gun most certainly DID NOT fire - this dumb SOB FIRED IT!

I've seen a couple of examples where a gun went off.on its own - the Raven a few years back which was.laid on the bench and it went full-auto without being touched... I've had an SKS light off when I dropped the bolt due to too much hardened cosmoline in the fps channnel and my own ignorance, but...

Modern, properly-maintained weapons *DO NOT* "go off" unless some moron has his booger-hook (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) on the bang-button!

That said, holsters are obviously the proper way to go - for examples, even though my P3AT has a "clip" for holsterless carry, I don't use it for exactly this reason...As much as I've abused Lil' Elvis over the years, and as much trouble as the SOB'S cused me, I'm still MUCH too fond of him to do anything that might risk REALLY hurting him!

Maybe the gun grabbers have a point after all!

A few years back when my younger brother was still a patrolman one of his co-workers was investigating a parked car with an apparently out of it female at the wheel. For some reason this cop felt it a good idea to tap on the window with the side of the slide of his service pistol (the pistol facing parallel to the window). Keep in mind that this was the at the time current attempt by S&W to build a functional semi-automatic pistol. My rememberer wants to say it was an M59 but my rememberer is not what it used to be. Both the patrolman and the woman were somewhat surprised when the pistol discharged. Evidently that much of a tap from that direction was enough to cause the hammer to fall. Every one of the department's pistols had to go back to S&W to get the defect repaired. Properly maintained perhaps, but obviously less than properly designed.

I suppose he'll learn to carry half-cocked now!
