SCHOOLCRAFT, MI -- A 22-year-old Constantine man who accidentally shot himself in the leg in a business parking lot Wednesday may have more than a gunshot wound to worry about.

Because the accident happened inside the man's vehicle, the handgun is considered a concealed weapon, Schoolcraft police chief Bryan Campbell said.

The man is not licensed to carry a concealed weapon, he said.

"We will forward our findings to the prosecutor's office," Campbell said, including information about the gun's registration, which has not yet been determined.

Campbell said the man called 911 at 6:44 p.m. Jan. 13 advising he had shot himself in the thigh while dissembling his gun in his vehicle in a parking lot in the 700 block of N. Grand Street.

The victim was transported to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo with nonlife-threatening injuries.
