Man accidentally shoots self in groin inside Buckeye Walmart
Nathan J. Fish, Arizona Republic Published 4:31 p.m. MT Nov. 28, 2018 | Updated 5:19 p.m. MT Nov. 28, 2018

"Officers arrived and found the man in the meat department with the gunshot wound, police said.

He was taken to the hospital with survivable injuries, police said. No one else was hurt during the incident.

Police said all indications are the shooting was accidental, but police did file a report for unlawful discharge of a firearm."

depending on if he has had children already... and if he really shot his dick or balls off.

"The man was in a Walmart store near Watson and Yuma roads around 6:30 p.m., when the semiautomatic handgun began to slip as he carried it unholstered in the waistband of his sweatpants, Buckeye police said."

Depending on the exact damage to relevant organs, he very well may have the dubious honor of being a living person that's eligible for a Darwin Award...

The Darwin Awards go to people who contributed to the improvement of the human gene pool by removing themselves from it. Awards, as far as I know, are given out posthumously, but this could be a first.

With a gun tucked in with no holster.

Just wearing sweatpants. . .I was always told, first at home, then in the military. You dont wear fucking gym clothes outside of a gym or your house.

I can already feel the judgemental hate, heading my way.

That's your opinion, just like my statement is my opinion.

The difference is, I'm not telling anyone to go get a life for their opinion.

But shooting your "stuff" off while wearing sponge-bob pajamas would be a bit embarrassing.

He just had hernia surgery. I had to go out and buy him a pair of sweatpants.

I bet the guy was wearing sweatpants and no underwear.

He had to shoot the groin to avoid the total horror of a hamburger grind annihilation.

Stupid people with guns are open season for mockery.

is this the good guy with a gun or the bad guy with a gun?

Will he be shooting blanks from now on?
