GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

Gun safety -- it's gone to the dogs (or not)



The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office (Wyoming) has released its findings on the shooting of a man Monday on Murphy Gulch Road.

Richard Fipps, 46, told a dog in the front seat of the truck to get into the back seat. Among other personal items laying on the back seat was a .300 Winchester Magnum with the safety apparently turned off. The dog managed to discharge the weapon, which fired through the cab of the truck.

The round struck Fipps in the left arm, traveled past his back and clipped his right sleeve without touching his right arm. Employees working with him called 911.

Fipps was transported by ambulance to Sheridan Memorial Hospital. While the injury is not life threatening, Fipps may lose his arm. Due to the severity of the injury, he has been moved to a facility in Billings.

========================================

I'm glad Fipps wasn't shot in the head or the heart and that his injury isn't life threatening.

Gotta be pretty damned embarrassing to be shot by your dog.
