Gun slips from (the dreaded Mexican carry) waistband, man shot in nether regions
2019-03-03
[News-13] MARION, Ind. (WISH) - A 46-year-old man accidentally shot himself in genitals Thursday after a gun slipped from his waistband, police said.

Marion Police Department issued a news release via Facebook that said Mark Anthony Jones did not have a license for the Hi-Point 9mm gun he was carrying.

Jones, in the emergency room of Marion General Hospital, told police he was walking at about 6:44 a.m. Thursday on a riverside trail near the Marion Girl Scout Cabin. That's west of the Washington Street bridge over the Mississinewa River. He said when the gun began to slip from his waistband, he reached to adjust the firearm and it discharged.

"The bullet entered just above his penis and exited his scrotum," the release said.

The gun was not in a holster.

Grant County prosecutors will review the case to consider possible criminal charges.

#8  To save all y'all the trouble of doing the google:
The sticharion is a liturgical vestment of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches.
It is worn by all classes of ordained ministers in the Constantinopolitan Rite and comes in two forms: one worn by priests and one worn by deacon and other altar servers.
Doncha just love Rantburg U?

#7  A pious but well-armed Siberian
Hid pistols inside his sticharion.
He ruined his tunic,
Was rendered a eunuch,
And never again got caught carrying.

#6  Extreme violation of Rule #2;

Never point your muzzle at anything you don't intend to shoot.

#5  I'm going to make a wild assumption and guess he was up to no good at the time...

It appears the punishment has already fit the crime (violating basic gun control).

#2  The key question, IMO, here: did he manage to reproduce (regrettable if yes) before it happened?

#1  Reminds me of an old joke. Napoleon died when he put his pistol in his waist band, accidently pulled the trigger, and blew his boneapart.
