Luckily the woman is expected to be ok, so we can be a bit light with this topic
An Oklahoma woman was accidentally shot in the leg by a puppy after the dog became frightened by a passing train and stepped on a gun in the car.
Brent Parks, 79, told police that he was in his car on Oct. 3, with Tina Springer in the front passenger seat and Molly, his yellow labrador, in the back seat. Parks said a loaded .22 caliber handgun was in the center console of the car, according to NBC affiliate KFOR in Oklahoma City.
It’s too bad that there wasn’t a good dog with a gun in the car to stop the bad dog. More guns would’ve helped here, as with any other situation.
It must be one of those “killerguns.” It’s a good thing for the woman that it committed this violence and that the cops apprehended it when it when it was only a .22 … before it grew up to be a lethal .357 or a .44.
That does not answer the question. It’s just another one of your stupid spitballs. No matter how much smarter a dog may be than a human, they cannot pull the trigger on a gun that is inside the console of a car once, let alone three times. The story is bogus. The woman accidentally shot herself and didn’t want to admit it so she blamed the dog.
Pull up some you tube videos. You would be amazed at what animals can do. I have a cat that can flush the toilet. Usually when I’m on it. He’s teaching me about courtesy flushes.
There is always a risk/reward scenario that must be weighed in making any decision. If…I feel threatened enough to have a gun in my car…plus a rambunctious dog…I’d have the gun placed in a position where accidents such as this, could not happen. I’ll bet this scenario will be considered in the future. Now that the tuition has been paid, let them reap the benefit of their diploma.
