Fun With Guns: Man’s Best Friend Edition
They says a dog is a man’s best friend. Offer void in Iowa.
Richard Remme says he was on the couch horsing around with his dog while he was fully armed. And then ….
“And I carry in a belly band, under my bib overalls. And apparently he bumped the safety one time, and when he bounded back over one of his toes went right down into the trigger guard.
“It has a trigger safety as well as a thumb safety, and he managed to hit both of them, and it discharged and went into my leg, did no major damage to anything.”
Remme is going to be fine and the dog was awarded a blue ribbon at the smart dog show.
Maybe he needs to get a holster for the gun so his cat can’t get to it.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Close, but no Darwin Award!
1But poetic justice, all the same!
2What a damned shame that the rambunctious doggie didn’t shoot off this yokel’s delicate danglers and prevent any future little Remmes.
A Darwin Award not fully earned is a terrible waste of a good chance.
3That cavalier attitude about nothing important being harmed is behind all those screams from the NRA about their gun’s don’t kill people psychology. See? Yeah. He got shot but he wasn’t “harmed”.The fact that he was not safely carrying is irrelevant. The fact that his own dog (a non=people) shot him isn’t germane. This may be why 90% of fun owners in this country do not belong to the NRA. Put that in your hat, Wayne!
4Just because that’s what he says happened, doesn’t mean that’s what actually happened. I would like to know what he was REALLY doing. Actually…..on second thought….I don’t. I just hate to see the dog ‘blamed’ for not having better aim.
5I need to be packin’ while on my sofa at home? In Iowa?
6What a bunch of paranoid wusses!
He had a gun to protect himself.
7A dog to protect himself.
Guess he hadn’t counted on betrayal. Et tu Fido?
How afraid of everything do you have to be to have a loaded gun in your overalls when you’re sitting on your own sofa at home? Jeebus, and they call us delicate snowflakes.
Or else he forgot where he had a loaded gun, in which case he’s just too stupid to be allowed to walk around without a keeper.
8I have to give the guy a little bit of credit for being worried about his dog.
9Congratulations to the pooch!
