Poor doggo 🥺
Guns are so loud.
Yeah, and he will now miss his friend.
11 people that didn't read the article. Says he went into surgery. Not dead. Owner is still a dumbfuck who should have their gun privileges taken away.
I really dont understand when people say gun privilige. Like owning a gun is something people should aspire towards.
Guns should be responsibilities, not privilieges.

The victim told police that before the incident, he was cleaning his firearm
getting shot by own gun and cleaning it, these often come together, maybe is safer to keep them dirty
If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.
Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because ... Everything.

He was cleaning his (loaded) gun... Sure...
Its actually a very common problem. Gun nuts all think they are John McClane and need to keep one in the chamber at all times. They remove the magazine but never properly run the action and yeah. Its especially a problem with glocks because disassembly actually involves squeezing the trigger.
Responsible gun owners are only slightly more common than good guys with a gun.
I've met some people who really should not have guns...
Most people I've met really should not have guns. And don't, as far as I know.
Even in America, the vast majority of people don't own a gun. Something like 70%.
Still, only the US has an annual toddler/dog gun killing rate (as in the toddler/dog shooting somebody else).
Also 44% of Americans live in a household where a gun is present.
Both those statements track, more or less, since the guns are usually owned by one person in the house.

stuff like this makes a real strong case for taking guns away from everybody
Those cases are failed suicide attempts or they were otherwise doing something they know damned well was stupid.
Any given weapon is stupid easy to clear, in 3-4 seconds, and be certain it's clear. Not like bullets are hiding in there somehow.
Yeah but if a transexual immigrant libtard jumps you, you ain't got no time to get a round in the chamber.
Agreed. There are a lot of people and a lot of guns in the world, so I won't say that it's never happened. The vast majority of those cases, though, are suicides or failed suicides where they're trying to save face and/or make sure the life insurance still pays out.
Life insurance does pay in the event of suicide! Depends on the length of time between taking the policy and, uh, execution. Terms and conditions may apply!
That dog
Ruff
I can't believe this scene could be real. I thought it was supposed to be a hallucination and the dog actually attacked the man because he has brain damage. But, he's actually supposed to have shot the man by accident? So weird to blame a dog for that.
I'm pretty sure I read about this exact scenario almost a decade ago.
Dogs are smart, they actually learn from history 👍
It happens a lot. They even made a lifetime movie about one incident.

The dogs are rising up in a very calculated slow burn plan!
Well it's either that, or come to the realization that guns are dangerous, and should always be treated with care. Always respect the lethal nature they can inflict if mishandled. And admit that casually storing them on your bed is really not a good move.
Guns don't kill people.
Idiots with guns kill people by accident.

Who let the dogs out ?
Yippiaaaa, bang!
Guns don’t kill people, dogs kill people.
Yeah that makes sense, he was just cleaning his shotgun... with a shell in the chamber. That's definitely how that works.

Awww, who's a good boy.
The shooting appears to be accidental, but police said they are still investigating the incident.
"On any occasion prior to this, had your dog exhibited hostility towards you, sir?"
Justice for the dog.
Fucking hilarious!
