Huh, I would have expected it to be cats.

@Shotwells they don't care enough to shoot people

This chart from the article @Karen mentioned is tremendous:

There are 50 US states. 4/10 of these incidents occurred in Florida. *facepalm*
There's a running gag here in the US about how embarrassed we are of Florida: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Man

"Florida Man fatally shot by dog"

@AReasonableAmerican Florida Man, world's worst hero or best villain, you decide!

welcome to America where we got children with guns, old people with guns and even fucking pets with guns!

Actually, that's apparently just the tip of the iceberg:

Verdict: true, and then some.

Happened in Russia (I think) a couple weeks ago too. A hunter kept his gun on his knees while searching for something and his dog jumped on him to play. It shot him through the guts and he died

@Edhellas Is it bad that I feel most sorry for the dog? I hope it doesn't blame itself.

@Landcfan Lol it won't blame itself, it doesn't understand but it will miss its owner dearly, and that's actually super sad

i doubt this, seeing of how you have to push the trigger to shoot a gun, which a dog can't actually do with out being trained properly, and it's unlikely that some one has a gun, and it's even more unlikely for some on e to have a loaded gun, and highly unlikely that some one were to train a dog to shoot a gun. so it'd be EXTREMELY unlikely for some one to have a loaded gun, and a trained dog that can shoot a gun. i could go on but :P

only in America........

@TheBrewer Actualy, hunting dogs and rifles is a dangerous combination anywhere. And I have a vauge recollection of a swede getting shot by a tjäder he already killed...

@TheBrewer Not only in America. People getting shot by dogs happen elsewhere as well. I'm pretty sure I have heard of at least one case in Norway.

@Tjalve well New Zealand and Australia don't
