Michigan — A Southfield Township man accidentally shot himself in the groin Tuesday morning as he was adjusting his gun…

The 45-year-old contractor with a heating and air conditioning company was outside a home on the 300 block of Wimbleton in Birmingham when the shooting took place at around 11:15 a.m., said Birmingham Police Chief Don Studt.

As he prepared to get to work, the man went to remove the .40-caliber Glock pistol from his waistband of his pants where he was carrying it and the gun went off. The bullet went through the victim’s penis and lodged in his thigh, Studt said…

A co-worker on the job took the man to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. The man underwent surgery and is recovering, said Studt…

The firearm was registered to the man, and he had a license to carry it, Studt said. The victim may now face charges of reckless discharge of a firearm, and the report has been sent to the city attorney’s office to review, he said.

“We were talking with the city attorney about, you know, what if it had gone through a wall and hit somebody else?” he said. “Most everyone can get a license to carry a pistol, but you need to think twice about serious safety precautions when you’re carrying a gun.

“I think he’ll be thinking of that in the future.”

Har. That’s gonna leave a mark.
