FARMINGTON, Maine -- A Carthage man accidentally shot himself in the calf Monday morning when he set off a small pistol in his sweatshirt pocket.

David Jackson, 46, is a quadriplegic and the handgun he had was loaded and had no safety, said Sgt. Vicki Gardner of the state police.

He was in the bathroom of his Jackson Hole Road when the gun discharged. Gardner said that he was taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington.

After he was released from the hospital, Gardner said Jackson was arrested on the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon around 8 p.m. Monday.

A member of the Franklin County jail said that Jackson has bailed out of jail.

Gardner said a number of law enforcement agencies assisted in the case. Investigators relied on a Maine Warden Service four-wheel drive truck to ascent the steep road on which Jackson's house was located.

This must have been a misprint... Felon's are not allowed to own guns in Maine.

Well, if you're a quadrapelgic, it may be easier to get three squares in the jailhouse than take care of yourself - this may have been his plan and "ticket in".

Idiot or not, felon or not, it's hard to pile on a quadrapelgic, espec. when it sounds like he caused the ND while he was trying to get himself into the shower or on/off the toilet, most likely. Cannot blame the man for wanting to protect himself in his otherwise defenseless state. Don't tell me, he's a felon for smoking a lot of weed to ease his pain, right? See, there's a lot we may not know here.

This really isn't the sort of thing we discuss here.
