I remember a duck dog knocking over a shotgun around here a few years ago when they were trying to get out of the boat ‍… <facepalm>

The dog did not exercise proper trigger discipline.

Mandatory 8 hour safety courses for all dogs up for debate in the Senate later today.

Not trying to make light of the death of someone either. But unfortunately this seems to be a classic case of complacency kills. Leaving a loaded long gun chambered and safety off laying around the back of a vehicle where animals or humans are moving about is bad form.

"The dog stepped on the rifle in the back of the truck, causing it to fire and hit the back of Smith, who was found in the front passenger seat, Hay said."

they don't say what the rifle is so that leaves out the evil assault 15's

so what rife could lay on the back seat of a Truck and point to the back of the passenger seat ??

oh .. and not fall off the seat and end up on the Truck Floor ..


yep blame it on the dog ..

Did the guy work for the ATF? Perhaps there is some kind of payback movement amongst the canines? Unintended Consequences?

Wow NYS’s laws on no loaded rifles in a vehicle would have actually saved a person.
