Fun With Guns: Sit, Spot, Sit Edition
Dog shoots man. Seriously. Up in Wyoming a dog “jumping around” in the backseat of a pickup “accidentally” discharged the rifle and shot his owner.
That’s the story and they’re sticking to it. Personally, I think the dog aimed.
The incident happened as Fipps and two of his employees were trying to use chains to free another pickup truck stuck in the road. Fipps ordered the pooch — described as a “ranch dog” — from the front seat of the parked pickup to the back, …
Well, it sounds to me like somebody didn’t like being called “a ranch dog”.
Thanks to Tina for the heads up.
Sounds to me like he didn’t like being told to go to the back of the bus. Ranch dogs can be a little cranky about things like that.
1Hope that puppy isn’t punished for his master’s criminal negligence. He left the safety off.
2Hey, man’s best friend. Diamonds are a gal’s best friend. They don’t shoot you, even by accident and even by a dog.
3Dog wants steak!
4Sounds to me as if both the owner and the dog needed a lot more training. Just sayin.
5Good dog, Ranchy. Good dog.
Funny JJ. But did you all click on the link at the bottom about the FL man “shot by his dog”? The police have not pressed charges against the dog.
6Dogs have it SO good in FL.
Here’s 13 dogs and a cat … perhaps Ranch dog could join this group … it would be a lot more fun!!

7Anybody who leaves a loaded rifle lying around with the safety off has less in his his skull than the dog does.
8Good dog.

10If you follow the trail from the first article to the Florida shot-by-dog article, there’s a link to one about a woman who was shot by her friend’s oven.
“Aalaya Walker was visiting a friend in St. Petersburg Monday when they decided they wanted some late-night waffles, The Tampa Bay Times reported. So Walker began preheating the oven — unaware that her friend, JJ Sandy, 25, was storing a magazine from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in the oven.”
Question 1: what brain donor stores ammo in the oven?
Question 2: what waffle-making method requires an oven?
11Rhea, it’s Floriduh. Asking logical questions about Floriduh is futile.
12Dog innocent. Paws can’t pull no triggers.
13Firearm, meet forearm.
14Having read the article, I think his boss was messing around with the rifle and shot him. Then he decided it made more sense to blame the dog than the bossman and owner of the ranch.
15If you’re heating up storebought waffles and don’t have a toaster or a microwave–or you just want lots of storebought frozen waffles at once–you heat them in the oven. On a cookie sheet.
Leaving your ammo in the oven is stupid, but using an oven to heat up waffles isn’t.
As for dog doing the shooting–not hard for a dog to land on a rifle, both knocking the (usually minimal) safety back off and jarring the overly sensitive trigger our rancher friend had filed on so’s he could take a shot fast. Or, as several have suggested, it was a human shooting, and the dog was blamed because it can’t be indicted.
