If he's not a felon he has a right to carry. If he did not violate anyone's rights or damage anyone else's property then no crime has been committed.
Amazing how simple the laws in this country where suppose to be and how those who want to control and profit have bastardized everything.

Do you really have a constitutional right to shoot your dick and scrote in a public place with a Hi-Point tucked in your waistband?
Seriously, don’t defend this Darwin Award winner unless you’re lining up for your own. This is not our poster boy for constitutional carry.

Yes you do. You have the right to bear arms. Whether you shoot your penis off is irrelevant.

That's your final answer?
If someone shoves a pistol at their own crotch and fires, in public, for all to see, whether intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, that's a constitutionally protected act? And the state has nothing to say about that? Is that really what the framers of the 2nd amendment had in mind?

His right to bear an arm is his constitutionally protected right. A negligent discharge doesn't revoke that right.
What's so hard about that to understand about that unless only certain people can only have rights in your book in contrast to what the Constitution actually says?
Are you telling me that if your gun malfunctions or you make a mistake and you have a negligent discharge your rights should be taken away?

He's only charged because he shot his own dick off while walking down the street.
You can argue that you should have the right to concealed carry without a permit, and he shouldn't be charged with it, but there's no second amendment right to negligent discharge and recklessly handling a firearm in public. While it is fortunate for the public that it is his own dick and scrote that paid the price here, anyone who shoots their dick and ballsack with a gun tucked in their waistband is a menace to public safety who by their own actions has forfeited the right to carry.
He could have shot someone else, and in any event, a negligent discharge to his own crotch on a public street is a violent and disorderly offense against public order and safety that civil society shouldn't tolerate.

About the only charge he should have gotten is discharging a firearm within city limits if his city of arrest has such a law which is a fine at most.

So only those who you approve of should bear arms? If a trans can cut his dick off then this guy can shoot himself in the nut.

It’s hard to tell when people are being sarcastic here, but come on. It’s not “what I approve of.” Shooting your balls in public is against multiple laws and is not a constitutionally protected use of arms. What, was it self-defense?
If he shot his dick in the privacy of his own home without disturbing the neighbors and dealt with the aftermath without involving public authorities there would be no issue. If he had mastered the art of the Hi-Point waistband tuck without shooting his junk there would be no issue.
When you cross the line to recklessly firing a gun on a public street and causing bodily injury, even if only to yourself, that’s endangerment and creating a nuisance using a gun. Exactly what should be punished. Maybe the finer point about whether he should be charged with unlicensed carry can be argued but this guy’s actions and that they should be punished, up to and including restriction on his use of guns, that reasonable people shouldn’t have a problem with.

Some dick was holding him up so he shot it.
