This happens more than you would think. Over the years, I’ve read dozens of stories where a dog caused a firearm to discharge and either killing or injuring the owner. The mistake was having a round chambered, and the safety “off”, when the firearm was unsecured.

The term is going hot which is to say- locking and loading/chambering a round. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Reckless! Reckless! Reckless! Basic firearm safety ignored and now someone is dead. Jail time is appropriate for the guilty party, as well as civil damages.

Some safeties could conceivably be moved if a dog was walking on the gun.

Perhaps the owner had trained the dog to load the rifle. 🤣
The whole story sounds suspicious to say the least.

Who puts an unsecured, loaded rifle in the back seat of a truck?

I think I have read something like this before but it was about 20 years ago.

Who even loads their rifle before they get to the hunting grounds?
My point was that the whole story sounds very suspicious to say the least.

My Father taught me to unload gun when the hunt is over.
Check it again when you get back to truck.
Check it again when you put it in the case.
To: BenLurkin
It was not immediately clear if the dead man was the owner of the pickup or if someone else was with them in the driver’s seat at the time. It was also unclear if the truck was moving or parked when the hunter was shot in the back.Who is "them"? The dead man? The dead man and the dog?
It would be a problem if the truck were moving with nobody in the driver's seat.
Maybe the dog is not the culprit here at all.

Today's iteration of the gun safety lecture, which applies to all of us. Every last one of us, especially MY OWN SELF, know what I mean?
RIP and condolences to the family, BTW.

I don’t know about the affair but I do understand the hunter’s wife has received four offers from other women to buy the dog.

I grew up in Kansas many, many moons ago. When I was a kid, nearly every pickup you saw out in the countryside had a rifle or two mounted in the rear window and you never heard of such accidents. But I vaguely recall them outlawing such racks. Is that true? If so, they should bring them back. They save lives, no matter what the infinitely stupid liberals say.

Sounds fishy. Maybe, just maybe, the trigger was pulled by a human who is trying to put the blame on an innocent dog.

Username checks out…. I can see why you’re being so defensive. 😂😂

Who the hell leaves a loaded and cocked rifle laying around in the back of a pickup?
Stupidest hunter of all time award
