Man Accidentally Shoots Self In Manhood
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Police in Arizona are urging residents to practice handgun safety after a man shot himself in the penis while putting a gun in the waistband of his pants." UPI
Joshua Seto shot himself in the groin when he attempted to secure his girlfriend's handgun in his waistband. If you are going to carry a gun on your person, use a holster so you don't risk blowing away the favorite part of your anatomy.
It's bad enough to shoot yourself in the family jewels with your girlfriend's gun, but to add insult to injury the gun was pink.
If Seto's manhood was damaged beyond repair, will his girlfriend stick by him? If the girlfriend leaves him she'd better take her pink gun with her, he might use it on himself.
I thought I was having a bad day, but this tragic tale certainly puts things in perspective.
