There's no mention of a gun rack; I think she just had it loose in the back seat...
The only woman in the story is the victim, who was standing outside the vehicle as it pulled up and the gun blew through the door.
It's interesting to me that nothing is mentioned about the driver/gun owner, and it's written in passive voice as if the vehicle, dog, and gun all acted by themselves. But SOMEONE not only drove to the store with a loaded unsecured shotgun, they also had their unsecured dog with it in the backseat.
Fortunately it appears the door took the brunt and the woman wasn't killed. Maybe the gun and dog should have aimed at the driver's seat.
Its simply the case that this wasnt written for you (or us in this case). This is simply a right wing attempt at victim blaming while hiding the real subject here. Now root cause analysis I've seen isnt everybody's suite, but right wingers really dismiss it the most.
Good catch; I just assumed.
