very hurtful
....well, many people do not have the discipline for certain jobs/having weapons/handling dangerous equipment/etc
Man shoots himself in groin in Marion, could be charged
I don't see any sense in charges being brought here. This gentleman isn't going to make this same mistake again, and neither will any of the witnesses. The situation itself is the "deterrent" factor and the pain and embarrassment he received seems to be punishment enough.
Back when the great Plaxico Burress was involved in a similar situation, I thought he was being persecuted when he got sent up the river.
You don't see any sense in charges being brought? He was carrying a concealed weapon, and he didn't have a license. From the link.................
Police said the man does not have an Indiana Handgun License and the case will be sent to the Grant County Prosecutor's Office for review and a decision on possible charges.
And.............according to the laws where he is at, you MUST have the sheriff issue a concealed carry license.
Indiana Concealed Carry Permit Information
Indiana is a Shall Issue State and issues concealed handgun licenses to residents of Indiana as well as out-of-state/non-residents. Shall Issue means that the sheriff must issue you a permit even after meeting all requirements for an Indiana Handgun Permit. The relevant Indiana statute is IC 35-47-2-3 which you can read here.
The dude was concealed carrying without a permit, and that is illegal, which is why charges are being considered. We don't necessarily need more gun laws, but we DO need to enforce the ones we have.
