A Marion, Indiana, man was seriously injured after he accidentally shot himself in the groin with a gun he did not have a license to possess, authorities say.

Mark Anthony Jones, 46, was out for a walk early on Feb. 28 with an unholstered Hi-Point 9mm handgun in his waistband when the weapon began to slip from its position, according to a police report.

If he had a license and registered it that wouldn’t have happened. Right?

The commies use incidents like that as a reason to ban and confiscate firearms.

Bottom line, the gun was cocked and now he isn’t.
