Man jailed for illegal firearm possession after shooting self in groin

SHEFFIELD, England - A man who shot himself in the groin after drinking 15 pints of beer and stuffing a sawed-off shotgun down his trousers was jailed for five years Tuesday for illegal possession of a firearm.

David Walker, 28, underwent emergency surgery after the March 6 incident in Dinnington, northern England. Tests were continuing to learn if Walker would be left infertile, his lawyer Gulzar Syed said.

“He still feels quite severe pain,” Syed told Sheffield Crown Court, adding that some pellets still were lodged in Walker’s groin area.

Walker had admitted one charge of possession of a prohibited firearm at a previous hearing.

Prosecuting lawyer Andrew Hatton told the court Walker had gone home to get the shotgun after arguing in the pub with lifelong friend Stuart Simpson about whose turn it was to buy a beer.

As he was returning to the pub, which had closed by then, he accidentally fired the weapon.

“He had it shoved down his trousers,” Hatton said. “After the shotgun had discharged he placed it in a rubbish bin and crawled back to his home.”

Walker told officers he was so drunk he had no idea how he managed to shoot himself and why he had gone home for the gun.

Judge Robert Moore said recent legislation regarding banned weapons meant he had to impose the statutory five-year minimum sentence.

“The shooting of yourself is plainly an exceptional circumstance which is capable of reducing the sentence,” Moore said. “But in this case, I am quite certain, it does not justify reducing it below the statutory minimum.”

could you hear the screams when it happened?

5 years for illegal possession of a firearm? Wow that is stiff but I guess in this situation is applicable since he probably would have gone and killed his friend if it weren't for his accident.

This reminds me the guy who accidentally sawed off his penis. He was using a circular saw while holding the wood in his lap. It just went right on through and totally severed his penis. I don't know if it was because of the shock, the embarrassment, or the thought of living without a penis but the dude got out a nail gun and tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head. His daughter stopped him and took him to the hospital where they reattached his penis and removed the nails.

so he sliced off his dick, shot himself in the head with nails and then got driven to the hospital by his daughter...? that's a bad day in anyone's book!

Euuwwww, imagine pcking up your dads severed penis and putting it in a sandwich bag to take to hospital....

Surpirsed george hasn't come in here to tell us our gun control laws don't work

[Marvingj]

Can you imagine if he had drunk 30 beers? At 15 Beers I can piss at distance of 6 feet into the brushes, but who's counting.

[Cobra]

The accidents seem to be getting more and more gory as they move closer to you, Will.

I dread to think what's going on just down your road...

Anyone else think this punishment is a bit excessive?

Yeah, but he's in the UK so it doesn't suprise me

[flaninacupboard]

nope, not at all. illegal firearms are illegal for a reason

[tekkieman]

nope, not at all. illegal firearms are illegal for a reason

Because politicians were paid enough to make them illegal?

[flaninacupboard]

Maybe, but i'm happier knowing the guy is off the street.

If he had got to the pub (and it was still open/having a lock in) and opened fire on his friend, how many other people could have been injured or killed?

[Doramius]

I think they should have given him another 10 just for blowing his manhood away. You don't do that. It's bad enough there are people willing to have their's removed. Anybody stupid enough to shoot their own genitals off even if by accident is a great way to help remove stupidity from our genepool. I saw this and my legs crossed immediately.

time to invest in a steel jockstrap methinks.....

[Capmaster]

No wonder they don't let you limeys have guns - you keep blowing off your parts

[Doramius]

Why do you think their Billy's still carry clubs. I don't see many cops here carrying night sticks anymore, unless there is potential rioting. Even then, they have a huge belt loaded with pepper spray and possibly a taser these days.

[flaninacupboard]

most bobbies don't need more than the extending batons they carry, those in the met and my home county were trialling tazers, hopefully they'll be carrying them permenantly.

[Capmaster]

tasering yourself in the nuts would be no picnic either

Maybe, but I'm intrigued....I'd try it just once for the experience.....
