Not particularly bright person ignores several safety measures, shoots himself, & blames dog.
Why do these stories still amaze me? Itās taking me longer and longer to see the absurdity. The story should be, āFoolish human stupidly has a gun strapped on while sitting in his house, and then decides to wrestle with his dog!. End result - OOPS!ā
Chance of an accident while wrestling with dog sans gun = ZERO, With gun, a lot higher!!!
ā¦and lay down beside him and cried because he thought he had done something wrong.
Everyone knows heās just a good dog with a gun.
Fifty-one-year-old Richard Remme, of Fort Dodge, told police he was playing with his dog, Balew, on the couch and tossed the dog off his lap. He says when the pit bull-Labrador mix bounded back up, he must have disabled the safety on the gun in his belly band and stepped on the trigger.
Okay Iām glad I went and read the linked article to confirm that it was not the dog wearing the gun in a ābelly bandā, because the way the AP wrote this, āhe must have disabled the safety on the gun in his belly bandā itās easy to read it as both pronouns talking about the dog.
Reminds me of the old joke:
Guy goes to meet his future in-laws, but heās got an upset stomach. When he needs to break wind, he crouches down next to the dog and lets go. The dad says, āStupid dog!ā Guy does it twice more, and finally the dad says, āStupid dog, why do you let that idiot keep farting on you?!?ā
In this case, Richard Remme is the fart.
It takes a good dog without a gun to stop a bad guy with a gunā¦using the bad guys gun.
Remme told The Messenger newspaper that Balew is a ābig wussā and lay down beside him and cried because he thought he had done something wrong.
He may have, he probably should have finished you off and protected the rest of us from you.
Cue Dana Loesch, Guns for Dogs. Open Carry Dog Licenses.
Winner.
On the bright side, the dog didnāt shoot him at a community Cornhole fundraiser.
Good boy! 
If youāre so scared all the time that you have to wear a pistol in the house, I question which of you is the big wuss. I also question how this happened at all. I think he was adjusting the pistol to a more comfortable place among his flab-rolls and shot himself. P.S. The reason I say heās flabby is that we both know perfectly well heās flabby.
He says when the pit bull-Labrador mix bounded back up, he must have disabled the safety on the gun in his belly band and stepped on the trigger.
Proof the safety was not engaged beforehand.
Bullshit!!! When he was a kid probably the dog ate his homework.
He either was playing with his gun or otherwise did some safety violations. I find it funny that the people that shoot themselves while ācleaning the gunā happens at 2:00 AMā¦
You win the Internet today!
Okay, what the fuck is a ābelly bandā if not a belt or a bunch of shirtless fat dudes with guitars?
Every single one of these accidental shootings hinges on one thing: the fucking idiot has a round in the chamber. Without that, the gun is just a shitty hammer. Chamber a round, and itās a bomb waiting to go off. You have to be driven by irrational fear to carry a gun in the first place, especially inside your own house, but how fucking paranoid do you have to be to think you canāt spare that 1/4 second it takes to arm the weapon, before which it is an inert object that is just making your pants really uncomfortable? Iām left shaking my head in amazement every time I read yet another of these tales of incalculable stupidity.
I had to read the story to understand, that he didnāt have a dog for hunting āBig Wussesā ā¦
The only thing that can stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
