You just can't make this stuff up:

KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) -- A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store Tuesday, police said.

A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge.

Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. The clerk wasn't injured.

A short time later, police found 25-year-old Derrick Kosch at a home with a gunshot wound to his right testicle and lower left leg.

Ouch. Was it really worth it?

Moral of the story: Don't stick a gun down your pants.

sperm from the gene pool.

Dunno - he still has his left nut...

I have no pity for armed robbers. Give this man a Darwin Award and a stiff prison sentence. And make sure the other inmates know about it.

:rofl:

Not for a while

:spray:

Damn, I think I'm getting Feisty. George must be finished with him. :rofl:

and we were treated to the surveillance video and got to listen to the 911 call too. Couldn't see real close up, but you can tell when it happened. The perp just folded across the counter, before taking off.

A reporter asks the bashful crook "Was it worth it?"

So the bumper sticker IS true...

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will accidentally shoot their children"

Candy bars, car keys, a lighter, even a phone-- but a gun in my pants? That's just crazy...
