Man Shot By His Dog

The antis are all chattering about this freak story:

he Sheridan County resident was on Murphy Gulch Road accompanied by Mr. Murphy and another employee when they stepped out of the truck to remove the snow chains from the vehicle. Fipps had a dog in the vehicle which he had ordered to move from the front seat into the back. While the dog was roaming around the back seat of the truck, it stepped on a loaded 300 Winchester Magnum which caused the gun to discharge. According to Kozisek, Fipps was outside of the truck when the bullet shot through the cab of the truck into Fipps left arm.

Fipps was transported from the scene to meet an ambulance on Highway 14, where he was then taken to Sheridan Memorial Hospital. Due to the severity of the injury, Fipps is now in Billings. Although his life was saved, Fipps arm may be amputated.

Now the antis, being the wonderful people they are, are making light of this terrible event, and then essentially calling for the ban of all guns. Remember even your hunting gun isn’t safe from an anti-gunner!

Still the pro-gun side points out this could have been easily avoided.


How To Safely Transport Firearms

The gun was loaded when it probably shouldn’t have been. The gun was not in a protective case when it should have been. The gun was not in direct control of a knowledgeable shooter.

While doing all of these things makes things REALLY safe, and unloaded gun, in a hard-sided case, that is being watched by a knowledgeable shooter is essentially inert. Still any one of these things could have prevented the issue. It only takes a few seconds to unload a gun, and hard-sided cases that will fit almost anything can be had for short money.

How much is your arm, or your life worth?

    Person tripped by their dog coming down the stairs – or even just walking. Happens infrequently but often enough.

    Dogs attack people way too often — often resulting in fatalities.

    And the Antis say?

    <<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Makes you wonder if they have an agenda other then the safety of people, eh?

    There was supposed to be a “crickets chirping” in the middle of those symbols – drat.
