I think I'd RATHER shoot myself in the foot.....

Quote
A 23-year-old Wichita man shot himself in the wedding tackle during a bodged kidnap attempt, The Wichita Eagle reports.

The unnamed perp, along with two accomplices, "attempted to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers" in South Wichita on Monday afternoon. The shooter first fired a shot at the intended victim, but missed. He then "jammed the gun back into the waistband of his pants", at which point it went off and popped a cap in his left testicle.

This unsurprisingly caused him to "cringe" which provoked a second discharge which hit him in the left calf. He was cuffed after walking* into a medical centre, and later booked into Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of "aggravated assault and aggravated attempted kidnapping".

His two companions, aged 18 and 20, were also arrested on "aggravated attempted kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct justice" raps. Police did not release details of the size of the weapon involved.

I'm impressed. I'm fairly sure I'd do a lot more than cringe if that happened to me, and I sure as hell wouldn't be walking into the ER :p

I don't care how retarded the argument was; any man who can get shot in the nuts and still have the strength to walk into the ER is goddamned bulletproof. :lol: :D

I think he will regardless. When he dies of course.

Thank God for removing him from the gene pool (hopefully :ick: )

Wouldn't the shock from the bullet hitting the flesh damage the other testicle too?

guess that depends on the size of the gun...

HE prolly got both of his balls in the shot... he stuck it down there and pulled the trigger about 2" away... the bullet hit the ball and then the heat grilled the other one too...

Thats why when you try to kidnap someone you have a gun holster. And its on your leg so you cant shoot your nuts off.
