That's what Sonny "Tex" Gilligan said days after Charlie — his 120-pound Rottweiler mix — accidentally shot him.

Gilligan, 74, a Doña Ana County resident, told the Sun-News that Charlie and his two other dogs — Scooter and Cowboy — went with him to hunt for jackrabbits in the desert west of Las Cruces on Thursday, Oct. 25.

Gilligan was in the driver's seat of his parked pickup truck, along with the dogs, when he was shot.

Did the dog also manage to switch the safety off? Dumb old geezer!

Geezer wouldn't turn on the AC...

Why was the gun loaded, bouncing around in the backseat with dogs??

Gimme the bacon or the cat gets it.

I warned you to not get me snipped. Lesson learned?

That's pretty stupid to have a loaded shotgun in the back bouncing around, especially with dogs jumping around. That's either stupid or lazy. Another idiot learning the hard way.

Is there a "nice try" category in the Darwin Awards?

Rottweilers are a dangerous breed. Be careful.

I had dogs that can shoot better then I can
