2 things:

1) Why did he have his gun loaded in the cab of the truck?
2) why wasn’t the dog in a dog box in the bed of the truck?

My dog and I usually get along really well, but we have our moments. Despite that, I don’t think he would shoot me and I would not shoot him.

The tragic news sparked calls for hunters to never carry a loaded rifle in their vehicle, as well as some snarky Facebook comments that irritated friends of the victim.

Let's not descend to FB level.

He saw what happened to Mitt Romney and didn’t want that to happen to him.

I thought we saw a story like this years ago? Except I think it was outside, not in a truck.

And this shows that yes, it’s possible to have an accident with a gun minus any human handling it.

We get about one of these a year. Not long ago a local dog pawed the trigger of a shotgun at just the wrong moment. Another hunter got it pulling the shotgun off the seat—dog got excited, jumped on the gun and pawed the trigger. Darwin keeps busy.
