The dangers of naming pets

Just as well they didn't call it "Bomber". :eek:

Although it does look rather sorry for its behaviour...

Trigger looks so sorry.

Indiana Conservation Officer Jonathon Boyd says 25-year-old Allie Carter of Avilla laid her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground without the safety on during a waterfowl hunt Saturday at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area.

Boyd says Carter's chocolate Labrador retriever, Trigger, stepped on top of the shotgun and depressed the trigger.

He says Carter was shot in the left foot at point-blank range, suffering injuries to her foot and toes. She was treated at two hospitals and released.

Maybe the owner will get shot of the dog.

You never leave a loaded firearm unattended. It's just basic.

It could have been a heck of a lot worse.

He's going to be in the doghouse for that one.

You'd have to be barking to give a gun to a dog!

The NRA are going to have a field-day, "Guns don't kill people, dogs do"...

If only the gun owner had a gun of his own to defend himself from his own gun.

Or another dog/sniper, a better trained one, with some kind of sub machine gun which it could use to protect its owner from the other, clearly untrained and incompetent dog/sniper. She could name him Happy.

ahh yes, another darwin award winner there.

safety on, always, until you're about to shoot something, and if you're gonna lay the gun down unload it, it's simples. hell even just breaking the action open would be enough.

reminds me of a tale a freind of mine told me about a fella was out hunting, came to a hedge, rested his shotgun against it, climbed over then grabbed the barrel and pulled the gun over. needless to say he also didn't have the safety catch on, and neither did he survive.

edit, and another darwin award to me for not noticing the date
