A Texas man was wounded Friday afternoon after accidentally shooting himself during a trip to a convenience store.
Police said Jason Bryant, who held a concealed carry permit, went into the store in Orange, where the gun discharged as he pulled up his shorts, reported the Longview News-Journal.
He walked maybe six feet in the door when he pulled his shorts up, something caught the trigger and the gun discharged into his leg, said Chief Jim Vanover, of Orange police. People immediately rushed over to help.
Another customer fashioned a tourniquet from a belt by the time emergency crews arrived, and Bryant was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Vanover said the shooting could have been prevented by proper gun safety.
If youre going to carry a gun it needs to be in a safe holster, Vanover said. Its dangerous to stick a gun in your pants.

Police said 83-year-old Mario Perez-Tano was stopped at a traffic light in downtown Miami when another driver pulled in front of his Volkswagen Beetle.
Perez-Tano blocked in the other vehicle as it pulled out of a tire shop and got out of his car to confront the driver with a .38-caliber handgun, authorities said.
Police said Perez-Tano fired one gunshot at the other car’s tire and then another shot into the driver’s side window.
The other driver, Miguel Garcia, was not shot and quickly sped away.
An Alabama man has been charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of his girlfriend earlier this month.
Raphiel Quinnie, of Mobile, was playing on a trampoline July 14 with Selena Edwards and the couple’s infant daughter when the gun accidentally fired, the man’s mother told The Press-Register.
“I believe this really was a misunderstanding and a bad accident,” said Jackie Quinnie. “I know they were playing over the gun … and he did not know the bullet was still in the chamber.”
The 19-year-old Edwards was found dead from a single gunshot wound, police said, and Quinnie’s mother described her death as a “freak accident.”
“He wouldn’t hurt her like that; they were in love,” Jackie Quinnie said. “It’s killing him.”

A Baltimore man who allegedly shot his longtime friend will be held without bail, a judge ruled on Monday.
Christopher Flohr, the attorney for 30-year-old Mark Ramiro, told a court that his client had intended to shoot a friend who was wearing a bulletproof vest as a “Jackass“-style prank, according to the Baltimore Sun.
In a video of the incident, 28-year-old Darnell Mitchell brags about taking a “deuce deuce in the chest” before Ramiro fires, hitting his friend of 15 years just above the protective vest.
Ramiro was charged with first- and second-degree murder, and handgun violations.
Flohr insisted to the court on Monday that Ramiro did not have any “ill will” toward Mitchell.
“It was a tragic, tragic accident between friends fueled by alcohol and drug abuse,” Flohr explained. “There’s no way to explain people messed up on drugs and alcohol.”
Aren't all these folks l'aw abiding citizens' exercising their 2nd amendment rights? It's all beer and skittles until someone loses a life. And there's nothing to see here, folks! Move along! Just a few gun accidents and a fatality.
When Lord are we going to see guns for what they are, instruments of deadly consequence. When are we going to agree that throwing more guns at our society will only result in more gun accidents and deaths?
A Bremerton man previously convicted of assault after his stepson accidentally shot a classmate with his pistol has been cleared by the state Supreme Court.
In a split decision, a majority of the high court found that Douglas Bauer shouldn’t have been convicted of assault after his girlfriend’s then-9-year-old son accidentally shot a classmate with his handgun.
Reversing the trial court’s decision, the majority ruled that Bauer’s conduct – leaving a loaded gun unsecured – didn’t cause the non-fatal shooting at the Bremerton elementary school.
“Bauer’s act of gun ownership, in contrast, is not felonious or criminal,” Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud wrote for the majority. “His decision to keep loaded weapons around the house is not, in itself, a crime in this state, either.”
Gordon McCloud went on to find that Bauer couldn’t be held criminally responsible for how the boy handled a gun taken from Bauer’s home.
The Feb. 22, 2012, shooting saw Amina Kocer-Bowman critically injured as she and her 3rd grade classmates at Armin Jahr Elementary School prepared to leave for the day. She was shot in the stomach, and was hospitalized for several weeks.
Investigators would later learn that a .45 cal. pistol accidentally fired inside a backpack belonging to Bauer’s girlfriend’s son.
A 26-year-old San Francisco man was shot to death early Saturday when he went to a unit on the wrong floor of his apartment building after returning home from a night out.
Stephen Guillermo had been out drinking with friends, his family said, and apparently pressed the wrong floor number on the elevator of the building in the 900 block of Mission Street in the South of Market area. He got off on the third floor instead of the fifth floor, where he lived with his brother and sister, and went to the unit in the same location in the building as his home two stories above.
Guillermo was shot at 1:40 a.m. inside the third floor unit of a 68-year-old man, Amisi Sudi Kachepa, who later surrendered to police and was arrested in the shooting.
Kachepa reportedly told people in the building that he blamed Guillermo for breaking the knob on the door of his unit. The knob on the door was missing Saturday.
Guillermo's brother, Marc, who lives on the fifth floor with his brother, said he could not understand what happened.
He said Stephen was studying international business at San Francisco State University, worked both driving for Lyft and selling Puma athletic shoes, and hoped to join the U.S. Foreign Service.
"He's not aggressive or violent," Marc Guillermo said Saturday. "He's a quiet person."
"It just doesn't fit," said his sister, Sharrmaine Guillermo, adding that her brother did not become hostile when he drank, and she cannot figure out how he would even start some sort of confrontation. "Stephen is not the kind of guy who would do that."
