Yippiaaaa, bang!

I almost never believe these stories. More likely the man did something stupid and is covering it up.

Huh? This story is literally about the man doing something stupid: leaving in unsecured, loaded firearm where an animal could accidentally trigger it.

I mean, I guess they could be even dumber than that,* but the prior offense should be more than enough to bar them from ever owning a firearm again, right?

... right? ...

... What do you mean, they work for ICE now? ...

There's lots of time and people in the world. Sometimes unlikely dice rolls happen. It's just a matter of probabilities

That cop car has got to be the coolest cop car I've ever saw.

I think that it's a Ford Taurus-based Ford Police Interceptor Sedan.

Too dumb to live. What idiot leaves a gun ready to fire, probably with safety off, unsupervised?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They were sleeping together, the gun just wasn't a morning weapon and still in bed at the time.

Oh come on, show me a single elementary school classroom in the US that doesn't have this...

I really don't get having loaded guns sitting around. Its not like the black powder days were prepping for a shot took minutes. Its not hard to load a shotgun. I mean Im just not worried about this fantasy scenario of having to quickdraw and shoot a home intruder.

“Dog bites man” is famously not a story, whereas “man bites dog” is. Replace biting with shooting and it’s the other way around.

That dog has no honor.

guess 'trigger discipline' extends to household pets now. who knew they needed the lecture too?

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Fucking hilarious!

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Justice for the dog.
