No, but if the shot was at the correct angle, then he at least won't be reproducing stupid.

With apologies to Johnny Cash:

I think that was his problem not holster that covered the trigger. Felony/Mexican carry.

The man was shot in the groin and they are going to file charges. That's ridiculous. I could see it if he shot someone else, but I think he has been penalized enough.

Maybe there’s a new category for the Darwin Award.
They don’t kill themselves, but are unable to reproduce, thus removing themselves from the gene pool.

IIRC, isn't this what the athlete <Plaxico Burress? sp?> did in NYC?
He had moved to either NJ or NYC and brought a Glock to a nightclub, Mexican carried, in his sweatpants waistband.
When the gun was slipping down away from his waistband, he tried to snag it, and shot himself.
Correct me if I didn't quite get this recalled correctly.
SIA

You are correct, and he received two years in prison for his troubles.
