Police urge holster use after man shoots his own penis

[Ptah]

As Chandler residents Joshua Seto, 27, and his fiancée, Cara Christopher, walked over to a
Fry's Food Store for refreshments, he tried securing her pink handgun in the front waistband of his pants.

The gun fired, striking Seto's penis and continuing through his left thigh. The bleeding started
immediately and was heavy, according to police dispatch recordings released Sunday.

"He is still conscious, there is just a lot of blood," Christopher , 26, told 9-1-1 operators and dispatchers.

One operator told Christopher to apply direct pressure to the wound with a dry towel or T-shirt,
but to avoid looking at the wound.

Why couldn't the warning have been issued before this happened?

1. Darwin!

Remember, you don't need to die, merely remove yourself from the gene pool. Right in front of his fiancee, too. Ouch.

2. "I did look at it. It's pretty bad." said ex-fiancee Cara Christopher.

Isn't getting your dick shot off punishment enough?

8. So now he knows what a letdown a premature discharge is.

Ba-dum tss!

9. "The bleeding started immediately..." Gosh, never would have expected that

:rofl:

Funny thing about this story: as a guy, I instinctively empathize with any male groinal injury, often to the point of crossing my legs or giving the boys a little reassuring pat. But this dude is such a complete fucking moran that I can read the story without any pychosomatic sympathy twinges at all. Perhaps it's because both my brains are 100% certain that I would never ever be so stupid as to shoot my own penis, so there's no sense of 'there but for the grace of god...' :shrug:

10. This should be your sig line!

15. If it had the right to bear and carry arms, it could have defended itself!!

Oh never mind.

14. I'm sure that guy will get a Darwin Award

when they pry it from my cold dead penis.

[rurallib]

17. Will putting his penis in a holster help it heal?

Is there enough left for a holster?

[provis99]

18. well they stick guns in their pants in the movies!

After all, if it happens in the movies, it must be ok then.

19. Didn't Plaxico Burress teach us anything? n/t
