Tennessee man shot by his dog while lying in bed
(www.theguardian.com)
Keep the safety on or use a trigger lock,
Maybe put that firearm in a safe. Or better yet, get rid of it. Of all the things that say, "I am not a responsible gun owner", getting shot by your dog has got to be pretty high up on the list.

I'm not saying put bulls are the most dangerous breed, but when was the last time you heard of a retriever or a lab shooting someone?
I was gonna make the same joke, but then I finished reading the article:
And in 2019, former Louisiana State University football player Matt Branch publicly discussed how his black labrador retriever stepped on a hunting shotgun that had been placed in the back of a utility terrain vehicle on a hunting trip in Mississippi.
Damm, hoisted by my own petard.
That's why I always keep my petard pointing away from me.
The only thing that can hoist your own petard...
Oh, great. Another idiot going on about pit bulls. It's not the breed, it's the owner. Any dog can shoot you if you don't take it to the range and teach it basic gun safety.
I don't want to defend pitbulls, but a chihuahua with a small kalachnikov would be deadly as well.
I can confirm. As a person who had a chihuahua for 11 beautiful years, he yearned for the most violent death of any and all that displeased him, which was anything bigger than him.
I forgot Siamese cats too. If you're the owner, they love you. If you're a stranger, they'll rip your head off.
Hey, pit bulls are big huggabugs when they're not raised by assholes. A pit bull with proper weapons training would never have had poor trigger discipline.

The only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun!
You said exactly what I opened the comments to post 👏
Poor dog got scared.
Oh the owner? Fuck him. Got what he deserved. Don't practice proper gun safety? You got what what was coming to you
poor dog not only got scared but probably got it's hearing completely destroyed
The only thing that'll stop a bad boy with a gun, is a good boy with a gun.
An average day in the USA.

The canine revolution has started. They’ve been playing us for fools, making us think it’s the feline population we had to fear, all the while planning this.
Canine together, strong!
That dog got tired of being his bitch.
Guns don't kill people, dogs do?
Guns don't kill people. It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!

All hail.
Always put your safety catch on!
....c'mon Johnson! Get the fuck up!
...dog in bed: nah, bang bang! Lemmy sleep!
