*while he was cleaning his gun and talking on the phone.*

Hold my phone and watch this!

[Gamecock]

But is the dog OK?

[PROCON]

..Sheriff’s deputy on the case, said he smelled “a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from Todd’s person while speaking with him”

Hmm, I wonder if that had anything to do with the "accident?"

[skams19]

There’s lyrics to a country song in here some place.

1st class idiot.

[PROCON]

I’m sure the dog will disappear fast the next time the guy cleans his guns.

Silly man. Everyone knows that when you want to talk on the phone you go driving.

[ClearCase_guy]

Multitasking is never a good idea.

[the_daug]

The gun was unloaded! I thought!

[the_daug]

An unloaded gun trying to kill a man and his dog! Get them unloaded guns off the street!

[4yearlurker]

This a$$hat did everything wrong.

[shelterguy]

An unloaded gun never goes off when cleaning it. Maybe they don’t teach that anymore.

[capt. norm]

Texting and loaded weapons do not mix.

...while his wife, who was sleeping at the time, took the dog to the veterinarian...

Who writes this crap?

Seriously...what has journalism come to?

Apparently, the only thing taught in Journalism school is how to be a liberal...they sure as hell don't teach composition and grammar.

99% of gun cleaning shootings(so called accidents) and deaths are suicides. This is the best way to for your designated beneficiary to get paid.

So if your going to off yourself for any reason and you want your beneficiaries to get paid then first spread out your gun cleaning stuff on the table.

You're description is tame compared to my first thought.....

Gun cleaning happens on the bench only (duh). No distractions. No kids, dogs, wives or friends. No external stimulation. And.....NO AMMO. Period.

The bullet struck his upper thigh, traveled through his left leg, and then hit his dog, according to the report.

I never thought I would find another thread to use this picture.

You mean you shouldn’t drink and talk on the phone while you clean your gun?

[Bulwyf]

I don’t care how much I multi task. I don’t do this, it takes a special kind of stupid.
