So much for packing a, um, rod
New York Post ^ | September 8, 2009 | JAMIE SCHRAM

It's a lesson he should have learned from Plaxico Burress -- but this was worse.

A 15-year-old Brooklyn boy shot himself in the penis Sunday after fumbling with a gun that had slid from his waistband, authorities said yesterday.

Khamir Grant was then arrested for reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon -- the same charges levied against Burress, who shot himself at a Manhattan nightclub in 2008, law-enforcement sources said.

The candidate must

1) Not have already reproduced
AND
2) Render him (her) self unable to reproduce, by committing some act of stupidity.

Death is convenient, but not necessary.

If he had, for example, blown his bollocks off (both of them) he would have satisfied the requirements,

When are these morons with guns going to learn that sticking the gun in your waistband is a BAD idea?

There’s a few of these reports every year and you’d think that word would get out.

“No Wang” Vo was a well-known Toronto gangster despite having partially shot off his member back in the ‘90s.

He didn’t use up his bad luck then, though, it must be said.

He was shot and killed last winter in a presumed contract hit.

I was wondering about the possibility of a Double Darwin, involving his own survival AND his ability to reproduce.

A primary requirement for a Darwin candidate is that the candidate must be dead.

Technically it is just "removed from the gene pool" which is usually by death. In this case, the punk is probably still capable of reproducing - so he is still not really a Darwin award candidate. But if he were a more effective accidental shooter, then he would be the unique legitimate SURVIVING Darwin Award candidate.

Nope .............

Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction - Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.

Excellence - Astounding misapplication of judgment.

Self-Selection - Cause one’s own demise.

Maturity - Capable of sound judgment.

Veracity -The event must be true.

I would bet a glock.

Why would a Glock be more unlikely than a revolver?

That’s just a matter of time. The ‘before reproducing’ requirement may have been satisfied.... That’s why he’s a candidate, rather than a winner at this stage.

Some guns have only a palm safety. Therefore, when the weapon slips down their pants, and their trying to feel for it (sorry), they inadvertantly pull the trigger—which probably has a light pull anyway.

I suspect the gun was small cheap automatic. Accidentally firing a single shot revolver tends to be a bit more difficult because the trigger pull must do a lot more than on an automatic. The trigger action rotates the cylinder as well as releasing the sear.

Real men and confident women have no problem with them. Maybe it is just a bit too much of a "grown-up" gun for some people.

Worldwide sale further proves you mistaken.

Finally it appears you couldn't answer my simple question either.

Easier to have a ND with a Glock that has one in the tube when it involves wannabe thugs ie: always carry holstered. Glocks are good weapons but unforgiving of bad handling. This moron probably would have shot himself if he was carrying a blackpowder muzzle loader.

If the weapon was chambered, reaching to retrieve it from inside the underwear could cause it to discharge when an ‘insensitive’ finger depressed the trigger.

Even though the Glock does not have a decocker, it is pretty damned difficult to touch it off unless you have you finger fully wrapped around the trigger. Regardless, a dork like this shouldn’t be carrying anything that doesn’t have a combination lock for a safety. Ever heard of a holster? Sheesh.
