Couple goes into a grocery store.  Male tried securing female's pink handgun in the front waistband of his pants.  Gun goes BOOM and shoots through his penis and left thigh.

Not the first, wont be the last. A little lower and he would have been one of those rare breed of living candidates for the Darwin award though.

Another comment gem:

Since he shot his penis, maybe he should consider keeping the pink handgun for himself.

Reply to above:
only if it shoots blanks.

Tyler was unsure of the type of gun, or whether it had a safety that was off.

The only two pink handguns I can think of are the S&W Ladysmith and the Charter Arms revolvers. And revolvers don't have safeties.

Oh goodness no(regrettably), they're making all kinds of crap in pink these days.  I've seen the odd custom-done pink Glock etc., but there have been LCPs as well as some Kel-Tecs(but I repeat myself) mass-produced in pink.

The article says people get the wrong impression from television shows' bad habits, like the fateful waistband-tuck, which works only because actors "most likely use rubber weapons".
I can't help but giggle, as I imagine that the "victim" may find himself able to use only rubber "weapons" in the future as well...

Chandler is my "backyard", too.  Guess I won't be seeing this chooch at the range anytime soon.

Why....?

Oh, never mind....

Well, yes.  Why... was he taking the gun from his girl friend?

Intent to rob?  Is this a case of swift and terrible justice pre-justice?
