Dog Wiggles Paw Free to Shoot Florida Man

Thu Sep 9, 8:07 AM ET


PENSACOLA, Fla. - A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.


Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.


Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.


On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies — one in his arms and another in his left hand — when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

9. I think this should qualify as a "Defensive Gun Usage"

The cute little puppy just saved half its family with a firearm! (Take it to the Gun Dungeon...)

Of course, it happens in Florida, home of the Bizarre Twist™.

13. Remember, guns don't shoot people--DOGS shoot people.

Guns are inherently safe; it's just those trigger-happy dogs.

On edit--oops, didn't see your post there, Colonel. Great minds think alike . . .
