David Walker had drunk 15 pints of lager when he accidentally discharged the gun which was stuffed down his trousers, Sheffield Crown Court was told.

Walker underwent emergency surgery following the incident in Dinnington, South Yorks, and tests are continuing to find out how it will affect his fertility and future sexual relationships.

Andrew Hatton, prosecuting, said Walker went home for the gun after arguing with a friend about whose turn it was to buy beer. By the time he returned the bar was closed and his friend had gone home.

Mr Hatton said: "As he was returning to the area of the pub the gun went off. He had it shoved down his trousers. After the shotgun had discharged he placed it in a rubbish bin and crawled back to his home address."

Walker told police he was so drunk he had no idea how he managed to shoot himself. The defendent's mother found him at home and took him to hospital, where doctors called the police.

Gulzar Syed, defending, said: "He is still suffering as a result of the injuries. He still feels quite severe pain. There are still pellets embedded within the scrotum area of his body."

Here's more on why Arkansas
is everyone's favorite state.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette:



Two local men were seriously injured when their pickup truck left the road and hit a tree near Cotton Plant on State Highway 38 early Monday morning. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock are listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident occurred as the two men were returning to Des Arc after a frog-gigging trip. [Note to city slickers: frog-gigging, or frog-sticking, is how, armed with a small pitchfork, you catch frogs from the bayou bank. Frog legs make a tasty supper.]

On an overcast Sunday night, Poole's pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis realized that the .22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge.

After traveling approximately 20 miles and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the right testicle. The vehicle swerved sharply to the right, exiting the pavement and striking the tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require surgery to repair the other wound. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released.

"Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his nuts off or we might have been dead," said Wallis.

"I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world," said Deputy Snyder, "but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how the accident happened."

"Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia, Poole's wife, asked how many frogs the boys had caught, and did anyone think to get them from the truck?"
