A man from the West Brighton section of Staten Island is facing criminal weapons charges after accidentally shooting himself in the groin while waiting to board the Staten Island Ferry.

Duwayne Baugh, 30, of Dubois Avenue, was waiting in the Whitehall Ferry Terminal early in the afternoon on June 22 when his loaded 9mm semiautomatic handgun that was tucked into his waistband accidentally went off.

Baugh, with the bullet lodged in his testicle, alerted a security guard that he had shot himself and needed help, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said.

That same officer arrested Baugh on the spot.

After being treated at Bellevue Hospital, where his wounded testicle was removed, Baugh was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court and later released on $20,000 cash bail. He is due back in court on Aug.1 to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court.

That's what I thought!
Way underpowered ammo, or nuts of steel.

Gives new meaning to "POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!"

I am interested in the mechanics behind the "accidental discharge?.

With that shot placement maybe he didnt have his finger on the trigger after all..........

Even if I believed in gun control, I wouldn't think very highly of charging this fellow. I mean, come on, he shot himself in the family jewels. That's punishment enough.

Haha, thats what I was thinking too.

He needs to find a good lawyer. He might be able to prove his case was not an AD but possibly erectile malfunction... Is that illegal in NY? Ok I couldnt resist!

 

[BBQJOE]

I actually think he was lucky.
He might have gone off half cocked.

 

[Red Dragon]

hmm...should I make a "gun nut" joke? ...nah. I don't think so

I hear he sung like a canary at this trial.

Fugheddaboutit! Poor guy's been through enough already.

 

[Shadowangel]

He must've lost his marbles, carrying a pistol like that.

I am SO biting my tongue right now... Nah- Maybe the ND was caused by seeing a hottie??? :banghead:

 

[twenty711]

What a nut! You would think the penal code would have gone soft on him.

 

[BBQJOE]

I'm still wondering about the "lodged" part.
Even a .22 would pierce the "target."

 

[JLStorm]

I love it lol...thats what you get for watching too much tv and trying to be "cool" by carrying like tv characters.

One thing Im confused about...I didnt think newspapers used the words "the gun accidentally went off" in NJ or NYC unless an LEO was carrying them???
