Cleanup on Aisle 11

An unidentified man at a Walmart store in Buckeye, Ariz., told police he was carrying a semiautomatic pistol in the waistband of his sweatpants, and felt it slipping. He grabbed it in an attempt to keep it from dropping to the floor — and managed to pull the trigger, shooting himself in the groin. Police responded to find the man in the meat department (really!), and said he was taken to a hospital with “survivable injuries.” (RC/Arizona Republic) ...Sure he’ll survive. He just won’t want to.
