Dog bites man is hardly news, but in Tennessee, a dog recently shot a man.
In what is only the latest instance of a kind of accidental shooting that intermittently occurs in the US, Jerald Kirkwood reported to police in Memphis that he and a woman were lying in bed with a firearm when his dog jumped up and inadvertently caused the weapon to discharge.
A bullet grazed the man atop his left thigh, according to the local news station WREG, which cited police. WREG recounted how Kirkwood’s one-year-old pit bull, Oreo, had gotten his paw stuck in the trigger guard of his owner’s gun. Oreo ultimately squeezed the trigger and shot his owner, whom the station and multiple other news outlets identified.

can’t believe it didn’t shoot a toddler
This could have been prevented if there were a good dog with a gun in the room.
MURCA!
Everybody’s laughing about the dog but skipped right over this part:
he and a woman were lying in bed with a firearm
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
That was my first thought. What dumbass keeps a firearm in their bed?
Ammosexuals
Someone with a lot of enemies
Little did he know, the enemy was already inside the house.
Men don’t fuck people, guns fuck people
Are you kink shaming?
/s
“baby you know I can’t cum if it isn’t loaded…”
🐶 Woof woof
Guns don’t shoot people pit bulls shoot people.
Darn, beat me to it by a couple minutes.
LOL

Oh, that’s great! Long live nottheonion!
The only way to stop a bad boy with a gun is a good boy with a gun.
Stories like this are funny, but the gun people are reassured that only “stupid” people have gun accidents and this can be solved with PerSonAL ReSPONsability instead of realizing that guns are so omnipresent stuff like this is stochastic fate.
I’d argue that person was being stupid. There’s no reason to be lying in bed with a firearm. That, or they didn’t tell the truth
That bullet could have gone through a wall and killed an innocent person, all because they wanted to have sex with a gun.
Accidental discharges should put people on a no-gun list.
Not an accident. This was negligence. Actual accidents are pretty rare.
Negligence was having the gun on the bed. The accident was it going off.
And those same folks, when an accident affects them, usually fall back on something like “it wasn’t my fault!”
Which is it? It’s not your fault, and these things should be regulated more. Or it is your fault, and regulations should dictate that you shouldn’t have these firearms any more, and perhaps shouldn’t have had them in the first place?
That Baldwin gif is too soon man
This is a great premise for a country song.
Something, something , gun reform would have prevented this.
