Apparently the only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
From Big Horn Mountain Radio Network comes the following:
Sheriff Steve Kozisek identifies the man who suffered a gun shot wound on Monday morning as 46-year-old Richard L. Fipps. The Sheridan County resident was on Murphy Gulch Road accompanied by Mr. Murphy and another employee when they stepped out of the truck to remove the snow chains from the vehicle. Fipps had a dog in the vehicle which he had ordered to move from the front seat into the back. While the dog was roaming around the back seat of the truck, it stepped on a loaded 300 Winchester Magnum which caused the gun to discharge. According to Kozisek, Fipps was outside of the truck when the bullet shot through the cab of the truck into Fipps left arm. . . . Although his life was saved, Fipps arm may be amputated.
Yup, loaded gun in the back with the safety off.

I guess that shoots down the idea that guns don't shoot people, people shoot people. On the other hand, the NRA may be champing at the bit to get guns into Petsmart.
I do feel sorry that this fellow was foolish enough to travel around with a loaded gun with the safety off in his truck and may now lose his arm. You never know when you might run into a terrorist or criminal you have to defend yourself from out in rural Wyoming.
