2. If the dog had been packing it could have shot the gun out of her hand and all would be well. |

13. America has always been ready for grand experiments. |
|
Allowing every idiot in the country to have multiple guns is one Hell of an experiment!

16. Both are Civil Rights. |
|
Both can be abused.
Both are of equal weight/value.
What's the problem here?

27. Well, you asked for it. Here's another: Blacks should own guns. |
|
You do support blacks having equal access to firearms, don't you? That's only been allowed in my adult lifetime (an even newer experiment!).

5. Why in the world would anyone have a gun?!!! If this woman hadn't had a gun, her husband would still |
|
be alive.
This just goes to show that no one should have a gun (with limited exceptions like government agents and the author of the OP).

22. And every car accident and vehicular homicide just go to show that |
|
no one should have a car, either.
(Millions of us have guns and NOTHING remotely like this ever has or ever will happen to us. But thanks for your concern.)

6. A likely story. Was the husband injured by the dog? If not, she probably intended to kill husband. |

My dad once told me of a shooting in my family. It was probably 1920ish on the farm in Erath County, TX. It seems my grandfather was laying for a rabbit that had been helping itself to lettuce from the garden in the back yard. The rabbit appeared and grandpa took a bead on it down the side of the house and fired his shotgun - just as my grandmother stepped out of the back door.
Apparently it was the talk of the town for a while, and Mamma - again, according to my dad's account - had buckshot pellets in her leg the day she died (on her 90th birthday)
:rofl:

19. Dog shot point blank w/ shotgun |
|
When I was 16 I worked at a veterinary clinic. Somtimes I got to stand by in surgery. One Saturday afternoon two young kids came in carrying their english sheepdog mix. The dog had a about 2 1/2 - 3 inches in its side, a lot of powder burns , etc.
It was really heartrending and maddening that somebody could do this sort of thing.
The Drs. were able to save the dog.

29. Same happened to a family member's dog. Dog died in his arms. |
|
We let the perpetrator know that this better not happen again; his family took care of things as a result: disarmed the senile old pecker.
BTW, my brothers and I have guns.

11. A ricochet off the pavement, perhaps? Tragic story as reported, and I |
|
really feel for her. But there are no excuses for not taking extreme care before pulling the trigger, and practicing/planning for stressful situations if you choose to keep a firearm for protection... :(

20. Yes, he was apparently holding the dog. |
|
She fired twice, hit the puppy once, her husband's chest once.
