i'd say so ... poor dog is scarred for life ...

Payback from the animal kingdom.

Darwin Award winner for having a loaded gun on the back seat without a safety on.

Wonder if the dog will face charges.

More than a few questions to be sure!

What do you hunt from inside your vehicle?
How do you even position a rifle in the back seat so that it would be pointed at the front passenger seat?
Where was the driver during this?
Were they actually driving around with a loaded rifle?
That is all before the dog is even involved, I think the dog might have been 'set up'.
......
Certainly plenty going on that 'wouldn't fly' with our Game Wardens here in NH.

Those guys are tough. I was watching a TV series on them. Might have been on antennae tv. They set the fake deer up just off the road. Plenty of "takers".

Here in Gun World if you don't feel skilled enough to carry a handgun you can have a loaded rifle in your car as part of Constitutional Concealed Carry. However, dogs are not allowed to carry.

You can’t trust a dog with guns.

 

[ngashooter]

Only a fool drives around with a rifle that has a round in the chamber. I truly feel for the dog.

 

[Rugerfan57]

Well, that was something different. You folks are correct, lots of unanswered questions.

 

[maddmatter1970]

I have never known a juristiction where hunting from your cab was legal. Much less a good idea. Action open, ammo and weapon seperated. It just makes sense all the time.

So many unanswered questions yes, but not unheard of.

Dog shoots duck hunter from behind in Utah

A Utah duck hunter is recovering from minor wounds he suffered when he was shot in the buttocks by his partner's dog over the weekend, law enforcement authorities said on Thursday.

In the end, it is negligence on the part of the human. Firearm safety rules were violated.

If my dog wanted to shoot you, you'd be shot!

 

[Wheelguns]

This just in; apparently it was Alec Baldwin’s dog!

 

[DQL5150]

The dog is sadly the scapegoat for its owner's misuse/handling of a firearm. While a tragic event, the owner is responsible for his own safety and that of others while in possession of a firearm. Break the rules and Mr. Darwin steps in.

Further details have emerged, the dog stated (much like Alec Baldwin), that although he cocked the rifle, he did NOT pull the trigger........................updates to follow.

 

[DCunniff]

Said he just "pawed" at it.

About every dog I have ever seen was smarter than Alec, by a large margin. The shooter dog is keeping his mouth shut and has not made any statements to the press.

I’m not sure I’m willing to give the dog a pass just yet. What if we find out the dog is a blue haired poodle with piercings.

 

[JohnnyDollar]

I agree with the "Darwin Award" people.

The dog did not cause this to happen, a stupid human error caused this......
...or....
maybe a cunning human did this and framed the dog.
