Dog shoots man: Pet owner recovering after freak gun accident

Fox News

It’s the ultimate dog-shoots-man story.

A Wyoming man was recovering from a gunshot wound to the arm after his loyal dog accidentally stepped on his gun and discharged it Monday. Johnson County Sheriff Steve Kozisek said Richard Fipps, 46, of Sheridan was working with two employees to move a vehicle and that Fipps was standing beside the truck when the mishap occurred.   

Fipps told the dog, whose name and breed were not known, to get into the back seat of his truck. But when the pup obeyed, it accidentally stepped on Fipps’ .300 Winchester Magnum, which was on the backseat, loaded and with the safety turned off. The round struck Fipps in the left arm, and he could end up losing the limb.

Kozisek said an examination of evidence and of witness statements support claims that the shooting was accidental.

  1. I can see a new law being created now:

    Those people with pets such as dogs and cats can no longer own guns as people cannot be absolutely safe that their pets won’t accidentally harm them. It’s best to just ban them from buying it altogether. And if you don’t have a pet, you have to prove that you don’t have a pet and if you had one before, you are immediately put in a database and no longer allowed to have a gun, as no one can be certain if you will buy another pet again and thus once again, putting you and others at risk or in danger.

    This world is completely asinine. This kinda of made up legislation that I created would have been comedy years ago, but now it’s just disgusting as I’m sure the Communists/Zionists aren’t too far away from doing such a thing.
