Georgia man cleaning gun shoots himself, dog

I have zero issues cleaning my things while watching a show or something. There’s no ammo, pure and simple. Do a function test, then good to go. I don’t understand these accidents.

If you’re drinking, don’t touch the guns, another good one.

Nothing is changed really. My grand father would say “every gun in this house is loaded cause them unloaded guns keep killing people.”

[Byron_the_Aussie]

Was it a pitbull?

Need more information to determine my level of sympathy.

“... spread out your cleaning stuff on the table..”

Dang, central.. you’ve put A LOT of thought into this. Remind me never to tick you off :)

[the_daug]

Err every time there is a accidental shooting number one excuse has been “I thought the gun was unloaded.”

[Spok]

No one accidentally fires their gun when ‘cleaning it’. No one is that stupid. What does happen is they treat their firearm like the cap gun they got for Christmas when they were ten, and forget that it’s loaded. And they’re too embarrassed to admit it.

Clyo is located roughly 25 miles northwest of Hardeeville.

So now, people unfamiliar with the area are saying, "Where the Hell is Hardeeville?"

1st class idiot.

Survival of the fittest? This guy ain't very 'fit', except to be the village idiot!"

[Arm_Bears]

This guy needs to be locked up for his own safety.

Hope the dog’s OK.

[Gamecock]

25 miles southeast of Clyo!

(In other words, no idea)

LOL

Here in Lancaster, Hardeeville is across the street from McDonaldville, and around the corner from Wendyville.

[jospehm20]

That was my first thought.

[Charles Martel]

LOL! Perfect.

IIRC, *that* dog had it coming - always laughing at the hunter for missing the ducks.

[verga]

You left off “no liquor”

[b4its2late]

Not when a gun is involved for sure.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

All I have to do is point my finger at my dog as if it were a dog and she goes and hides under the bed. She’s not trained to do that - and she growls.

I like to clean my gun, text on the phone, play Fallout 4, watch porn, seperate my laundry, and drink beer at the same time.

Ar-bee darned!

If one can’t maintain a level of situational awareness and ALWAYS know that gun is loaded, it’s time to get a new hobby. Before one’s stupidity kills someone. Never mind the ongoing ignorance of the first rule of handling guns. Ugh.
