That's just what somebody associated with BIG DOG would say.
Once they get a taste for blood, they never stop.
Prequel to the critically acclaimed 'Hobo with a Shotgun' we present to you: 'Dog with a Shotgun'.

Looking at the news I would guess American houses are buit mostly out of loaded firerarms coddled together by zipties. And oversized fridges.
Similar words: coddled is treated carefully, cobbled is poorly constructed.
And those fridges show ads now
Hey! I will have you know, mine also involves copious amounts of knives, duct tape, and drywall joint compound.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good boy with a gun
Pretty dumb to keep a round chambered.
My father, an NRA ~~member~~ sucker that claims gun safety first, leaves a 12g fully loaded (buckshot) with one in the chamber and safety off in a soft bag with the zipper open right under him while he sleeps. He also has Parkinsons.
You're giving these people way too much credit by presuming they do any form of critical thinking.
Wow that is very dumb and very dangerous.
He also has Parkinsons.
You can't make this shit up lmao
Yea... that's the scariest, darkest part of it. He's also the guy standing next to you in the grocery store line proudly displaying his Glock on his hip. No idea how he carries that (i.e., chambered, hammer cocked, safety on? no clue). Imagine if something went down that actually warranted the use of the pistol while you're standing in line...

I feel like if your dog shoots you thats your own damn fault.
Not in US. In US gun owners are never responsible for what happens with their guns. It can be the kid's fault, the dog's fault or even fault of the gun itself but it's never the gun owner's fault.
You're right, I forgot about the Dick Cheney rule.
Remember kids, when you're a powerful politician and you shoot your friend in the face, remember to drag your friend and his family around on a PR campaign so they can apologize to you for the time you shot them.

This will be the most American thing I've read all 2025.
AGAIN????
Looking for stats, I found this:
https://open.substack.com/pub/armedwithreason/p/dog-shoots-person-again
The clown claimed he was "cleaning his shotgun," while it was fucking loaded. I would give his dog a treat for making attempt to get rid of an idiot gun owner.
Why was a loaded gun on the bed? That seems like terrible firearm safety.
Fun fact! 90% of gun owners treat firearms like this!
The dumbass was cleaning it with it loaded...
So this must be what the pigs are scared of when they're shooting people's dogs.
I mean, I like things that go boom as much as the next human. But how hard is it to; 1, not fucking literally sleep with the thing. And 2; leave it unloaded if you are‽
I'm always amused by the stories about loaded guns being confiscated at airports in people's carry on bags. The one place everyone should know that you cannot take a gun. Inevitably, they say, "I forgot it was in there."
Stories like these don't inspire my belief in safe gun owners. I'm sure they're out there, but so are a lot of idiot gun owners.

McGruff proving, once again, that all cops are bastards.
Poorest excuse for a friend accidentally shooting you. "My dog ate my homework."
Good boy
