D as in Dumbass

Well thank god that cooler heads have prevailed. I mean really, how could the alleged shooter be able to mount a credible defense. After all, there is the language problem... among other issues.

In another news addition of you can't make this shit up, I give you 35-year-old Gregory Dale Lanier of Frostproof Fl. It seems Mr. Lanier was shot in the leg while driving his car. The alleged shooter? His English Bulldog. Yep. Didn't I say you can't make this shit up? According to the shooting victim his 9mm Beretta semi-automatic handgun, was on the passenger side floor of the car when the dog kicked it, discharging the bullet that Lanier didn't know was in the chamber. Luckily Mr. Lanier received a non-life threatening wound to his leg. Imagine though if he had received a more serious wound, one where he lost control of his car. The ramifications of that are not quite as funny as the headline of "Dog Shoots Man."

After an investigation, police have decided the shooting was accidental and no charges would be brought against the dog. WHAT? How about bringing some charges against the dumbass owner for being, well a dumbass. He thought the gun was unloaded... if you are that dumbass, you should not be allowed to own a gun never mind drive around with it in your car. Apparently in Florida you don't need a license to carry a handgun, so this is what you end up with. An unlicensed gun owner dumbass who gets shot by his dog because he didn't know the gun was loaded.

You can't make this shit up.

  1. Heard a story yesterday about a guy, a pro baseball player, who accidentally shot himself in the leg while he was cleaning his gun... I'm not a gun-rights nut or against guns or whatever, I try to stay toward the middle, but you have to admit, it's scary how easy it is, apparently, for IDIOTS to own guns. Sheesh.

  2. Oh gosh. Some people...

    I watch this show called Alaska State Troopers and they hear some odd excuses on there too. And people who are clearly drunk who go, "I'm not drunk. I'm just happy." Um?
