OK, I admit it, I generally don’t think guns are a good idea. I just can’t see any good reason why a private citizen needs to own a weapon that is capable of killing someone. All the more so, when you realise that some desperado might get hold of your gun and turn it on you.
A man out hunting in Iowa was shot in the leg after a hunting dog stepped on his gun, authorities said.
The accident happened after James Harris, 37, put his gun on the ground to retrieve a fallen pheasant.
One of a pack of hunting dogs following behind stepped on the trigger, and up to 120 birdshot pellets hit Mr Harris in the left calf at short range.
I know I shouldn’t laugh, but it’s hard not to. From the BBC.
