Man gets convicted for shooting himself in the groin
You may think that when owning a gun and using it recklessly, shooting yourself in the groin is sort of its own punishment. “Not so,” say the Colorado courts who gave jail time to a man for wounding himself while allegedly attempting to defend himself from a robber.
50-year-old David Leroy Blurton was convicted of illegal discharge of a firearm after an incident in which he shot himself in the groin during last May.
Blurton claimed he was trying to defend himself from a mugger in the parking lot of a grocery store in Dillon, Colorado when he accidentally discharged the weapon into his own lap.
Prosecutors claimed Blurton was drunk and reckless which lead to his brand new extra pee hole.
The jurors also convicted Burton of reckless use of a weapon for being drunk with a gun and for reckless endangerment.
In related news, after you shoot yourself in the groin and, while bleeding profusely from your manhood, claim that, “Man, this day can’t get any worse,” well, apparently you’re wrong. Lesson learned, and then some. Good thing I found this out now. I was just planning to accidentally shot myself in the dong. But now that I know it’s illegal, I guess I’ll have to scratch that one off the ol’ appointment planner.
