The Article said: Even the staunchest NRA defender wouldn't argue that a man has the right to shoot himself in the penis. (Or would he?) But that's what one man did in Trinidad and Tobago. Police in the town of Rio Claro received a call around 8:00 a.m. on Sunday from witnesses who had heard a shot coming from a parked car. The responding officers found a driver slumped at the wheel bleeding from his... private parts. The unnamed 33-year-old victim is a security guard who had been carrying a .38 caliber handgun in his pocket when it went off, hitting his penis! He was taken to the hospital where it was ascertained that he didn't have a license for the gun he was carrying. As if he didn't already learn his lesson, the hard way, he now faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Where the hell do you need a license for a gun?

Sarcastic comment pacing emphasis on obviously the less questionable issue.. How the hell have you made it to 33 before shooting your hootus off?!

Rio Claro is a city in the state of São Paulo in Brazil also.

Edit: I are not familiar with Trinidad and Tobago

In most countries with functioning governments, the US being a notable exception?

The fact that he blew his hootus off made the location go straight over my head.

Yeah I can see how you might have assumed it was in Florida

He did it in Trinidad and Tobago? That's odd because they are two separate islands.

Here's something to consider: If his hootus had Herculiner on it, could it have deflected the bullet?

Trinidad has absolutely draconian laws about gun possession,including jail time for possession of a single round of ammo. Unfortunately that only works against the law abiding citizens. Gang bangers are very well armed, and kill each other off rather effectively. It becomes a bigger problem when the home invasion robberies happen. And Daddy gets shot defending his family. Huge gun violence problem there. Jamaica had similar laws, and an even worse gun violence problem. As this is my biggest market area, I have way too many stories to tell. Oh, you can get a carry permit there, it just requires a substantial bribe to be paid to the appropriate official. Spend some time there,you will appreciate the USA a bit more.
