    David Walker, 28, had drunk 15 pints of lager when he accidentally discharged the gun, which had been stuffed down his trousers, Sheffield crown court heard.

    Walker underwent emergency surgery after the accident in Dinnington in South Yorkshire. Tests are continuing to find out how it will affect his fertility and sexual performance.

    A judge heard how Walker went home for the gun after spending an evening in the pub arguing with a lifelong friend, Stuart Simpson, about whose turn it was to buy a beer.

    Andrew Hatton, prosecuting, told the court that when Walker returned the bar had closed and Mr Simpson had left: "He went home to get his gun. As he was returning to the area of the pub with it the gun went off. He had it shoved down his trousers.

    "After the shotgun had discharged he placed it in a rubbish bin and crawled back to his home address."

    Walker told police he was so drunk that he had no idea why he went to get the gun or how he managed to shoot himself.

    Mr Hatton said the defendant's mother had found him at home covered with blood in the groin area. A doctor at Bassetlaw hospital in Worksop called the police.

    Gulzar Syed, defending, said: "He is still suffering as a result of the injuries. There are still pellets embedded within the scrotum area."</div>

    I'd understand a mental institution, but jail time?
