        Why was a shell chambered in the first place and no safety sounds like an idiot with a gun.

        The icing on top of the idiot cake in this scenario is that the gun was barrel up! It’s amazing Tex has lasted this long!

        Or: Irresponsible gun owner who didn’t safely store his gun was shot when dog jostled gun in backseat. Gun owner will be fined and sent to mandatory gun safety classes. Dog will be adopted by a more responsible family.

        Dog: “He’s a bad human.” What kind of idiot leaves a loaded gun on the truck floorboard pointed at himself? If this man is ever allowed to own a gun again it will be too soon.

        The rest of us need common-sense gun laws that ensure idiots like Tex aren’t allowed to have guns. He is 74 years old. He lives in Texas. If he hasn’t picked up the most basic gun safety yet then no class is going to help.

        On the bright side, maybe the dog can just shoot home intruders instead of biting them, therefore increasing doggy's chance of survival 🤔
