Teen Shoots Himself When Reaching For Gun In Waistband: Your Idiot Of The Day

The teen, while loitering and asked to leave, decided that pulling his firearm out of his waistband was the appropriate response. Of course the 16-year-old wasn’t supposed to have the firearm in the first place, but it didn’t stop him from making his stupid even more stupid.

A short news clip says that while he was loitering in a courtyard, he was asked by someone to leave. When he took the gun from his waistband, he shot himself in the thigh. Ouch. Sometimes, it takes a trip to the hospital to learn that the thug life isn’t the road you should be traveling.

Or if you do travel it, you may not be smart enough to travel it by yourself. Someone get this kid a chaperone.
