Its so strange for Europeans to read this because we don't let Weapons randomly lay around armorized and our Walls are not that thin, that this can happen such as easy as with US paperwalls
Europeans? More like most of the world really...
There are probably more "Man bites dog" stories in Europe than "Dog discharges gun" stories.
Although usually the presence of a wall is protects you.

If you leave a loaded firearm with a round chambered and the safety off out where "your dog" can set it off, that's still negligence!
XTREME NEGLIGENCE! Watch this baby pull a pistol out of the couch cushions and SHOOT THE DAD! This isolated, abused teen has access to SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARMS because his parents don't believe in a GUN SAFE! Watch the CARNAGE Carnage carnage!

The amount of people here who seem to think the dog actually shot the gun is insane.
I don't think anyone thinks the dog actually shot the gun. She was clearly weaving it around for some reason and accidentally pulled the trigger.
Even if the gun was loaded, and it had an incredibly light hair trigger (I don't think the actual type of gun is ever mentioned) I can't imagine a dog picking the gun up in its mouth would trigger it.
It's verifiably happened enough other times to be plausible herw.
Insurance infinite money hack: getting your computer shot during an AI-driven semiconductor drought. Rinse and repeat, just remember to cash out before the bubble pops!
Lol insurance is gonna say 'Well you paid x for the computer, we'll offer you x-30%'
That's if they're covered at all.
Doesn't insurance generally exclude acts of dog?
My €10/month optional insurance includes damages by me or my dog to the property of others. (I can't really translate the insurance name.) However in this case they would fight it because of the fucking gun. If my dog would damage your computer by running against it you'll get paid though. It's a cool insurance, I can throw peoples phones on the ground and jump head first into their TV if I want.
I don't own a gun. It's has nothing to do with politics. I'm a suicide risk; I don't need a ticket to the bullet train.
The problem is that many, maybe most people are like me. They shouldn't have a gun. If others were self-aware like me, shit like this would be much more rare. I think you shouldn't be able to buy a gun unless every member of the household can pass a gun safety test. Including the pets.
I own guns. I enjoy shooting paper targets at the range and clay disks flying through the air. I grew up around guns on a farm. I’m very comfortable handling them.
Me, and responsible people like me, are PARANOID about gun safety. Even if I KNOW it’s unloaded, I never point it in an unsafe direction. Like, not even towards the right because my neighbors house is that way 300 yards away through a concrete basement wall etc. I never point it at something I don’t intend to kill/destroy, and my finger never touches the trigger unless I intend to pull it. When the gun isn’t in my direct and immediate control - it’s locked up.
I HATE assholes like the person in this story. They deserve criminal negligence, their guns taken away forever, and some community penalty that’s severe. There is no way in hell “the dog did it”. Give me a break. At best, they were cleaning it in an unsafe manner and did some very negligent things (didn’t check the chamber, pointed it at their neighbor, pulled the god damn trigger), OR they were being a complete jackass and waving it around gangster style.
It baffles me that this person had to:
- Have their firearm and ammo in proximity without the intent to immediately discharge it
- Have their firearm LOADED in their own home without the intent to discharge it.
- "theoretically" leave it LOADED and unattended in their home long enough for "their dog" to discharge it.
Yeah this is absolutely the type of person who should not be allowed to handle firearms.
