Article says this is an "accident shooting" but is really a negligent discharge caused by a large case of the dumbass:


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.

Yep! Dumbassitude.

pit bull most likely. they can't be trusted

Read of dogs doing this more than once with trigger guard safeties on shotguns laid in the back of pickups.

Why isn't the chamber empty?

" loaded with safety off" kinda says it all.

Even a dog can't fix stupid.

It almost did.

Right before it happened the dog was probably thinking, "I wonder how I could get this guy out of the gene pool?"

.300 Win Mag will overpenetrate every time.

I think calling him loyal is a bit of an exaggeration considering he'd just shot him

Wyoming is importing Somalians...I used to think MN had all the idiots.

Maybe he just needed shootin'.

Everybody is an "operator" these days. They thing the trigger finger is the only safety they need.

A bit lower, and toward the appropriate side, he would have definitly been "fixed"

Sounds like that's exactly what the dog was trying to do.

You didn't happen to train that dog, did you?

too bad it went off and hit his arm...

his scrotum would have been more appropriate....

that way it would end that branch of the gene pool....

I can see how that can happen with dogs. Was laying out for ducks and set the shotgun down to adjust something. That's when my cousin's young (AKA playful)lab came over to see how his other buddy was doing and stepped all over the trigger.

Safety was on. And pointed downrange.

Never apologize for Wyoming, it will NEVER have the number of brain dead dumbfux that I have to contend with.

My heart aches every day I'm not in Wyoming.

"I said Beggin Strips you SOB, not these dry stinkin' biscuits!"

Ain't it just sad?

But, but what are the details on the load used? Factory or reload? Recovered bullet? Weight before and after? Opinions on if the 300 was adequate or was it too much. Inquiring minds want to know.
