Tell me again how the USA doesn’t have a problem with too many untrained firearms owners. Or how people only feel safe when carrying their gun everywhere.

a semiautomatic handgun that was being held in the man’s waistband began to slip. The gun, which was not in a holster, discharged as he attempted to reposition it, the man told cops.

Another responsible gun owner exercising his Second Amendment rights. Say what you will about toasters, it takes a lot of effort to stuff them into your pants.

The only way I could believe in God is if this started happening with suspicious frequency.

“Clean up in the Groin Area.”

It was not immediately clear if the man would be charged by the local police department.

So you can negligently fire a gun in public and not be charged? Good system.

He was standing his ground… in his pants.

If only there had been a Wal-Mart employee nearby who was also armed, they could have shot this man before he was able to injure himself.

Well it was a little too late to bust his balls over it.

So he “shot himself in the groin area” and “the man was found in the meat section.” I’m pretty sure we can apply the transitive property here, therefore: “The man shot himself in the meat section.”

Accidental discharge of a firearm is not a real thing.

By shooting himself in the groin he prevented further bad guys in the future. So probably a “good guy with a gun”.

Indeed, as gun enthusiasts are quick to inform everyone whenever there’s a shooting, guns can’t do anything on their own.
