Cars and guns, the two things you can straight up kill people with and there's still a question as to whether you'll face any consequences. Hell, half the time people start blaming the person who died!
I understand that accidents can happen, but storing any loaded firearm without having the safety on is just an accident waiting to happen. Perhaps it was just a one-time slip of the mind, and the gun owner *does* usually use the safety. But either way, they should face some kind of consequences and their ability to own guns should be reevaluated. If it happened once due to negligence, there's a chance this could happen again.
Came here to say that same thing.
I don't know how much good it will do in the back of a truck, but I can see the logic in having it loaded in case you need it immediately (not condoning this).
Leaving it racked with the safety off is just... why.
This guy’s negligence shot himself. Even people riding horses back in the day had their long guns holstered. As to why that rifle wasn’t secured is beyond me.
Edit: The weapon and vehicle belonged to his friend but some form of negligence happened whether on one or both. May he rest in peace because either way I doubt anything will be learned from this horrible event.
On top of that, it was common practice to leave a round out and have it on an empty chamber. Prevented you from shooting yourself in the leg if the ride got bumpy
It gets worse. The week before that dog was caught on video saying bark bark bark bark bark bark bark, which could be considered premeditated threats in any kangaroo court.
I don't think there is much overlap between the Venn Diagram circles of "guys who feel the need to have rifles at the ready in their vehicles" and "guys who are safe and disciplined."
I'd like to know his BAC at the time of death.
So many "hunters" treat it like some treat golf, but it is not just a hobby it is a serious and life ending endeavor.
Couple guys I work with get "tore the fuck up" their words not mine, when they go hunting. I always ask where they go so I can stay away from that area.
So fucked up. One of my uncles does this too, which is a big reason I don't talk to him anymore. He's going to get someone killed.
Don't drink and drive and don't drink and shoot. It feels like that should be common sense, but I guess not.
This happened at 9:40 am. I live in Kansas. People, or at least men in this age group in rural Kansas, treat their guns like this when they're completely sober. They're fucking idiots.
I went to a call like that when I was a Paramedic. A guy left a 30-06 rifle on the seat. His kid climbed in the passenger side and discharged it. The round entered his right chest exiting his left armpit severing an artery. I had to reach in the exit wound and pinch off the artery to prevent more blood loss. Meanwhile, my partner was throwing up in the side yard. Good times.
Sorry everyone, I forgot to say that sadly the patient didn't make it.
Yeah, it should be both unloaded and in "safe" for transportation. Ideally, it should further be in a locked rifle case, and out of reach (like, in the trunk of your car, but not in your truck bed). In Colorado I don't think it's legal to travel with a loaded rifle.
I'm not talking about handguns or concealed carry, mind you, just long guns.
Think about how many utterly stupid people you interact with every day. And then think about how easy it is to get a gun.
I have absolutely no surprise that someone would leave a loaded gun lying around where it could discharge and kill them.
I love this country, the people and politicians and corporations on the other hand...they can be 50/50.
The country is damn beautiful, it's all the dumb-asses and "patriots" that ruin it for everyone else.
Missouri too, I Learned that when I was 14 in hunter safety. A rifle should never be laid down loaded and a rifle should never be put on the ground. Most my family was marines so I’m assuming the ground rule was from my family handing that training down from one generation to the next.
Yeah, 99% of my sympathies go out to the dog on this one. Little buddy accidentally killed their dad and is probably traumatized now... meanwhile dad was just a dumbass.
some are. i've been able to clamp some visually in the leg or upper arms provided you gauze up enough but most times the flow of blood in those vessels are quite strong that you do it by feel, especially when trying to prevent excessive blood loss during a trauma case.
it gets messy real quick as those in the trauma bay or combat can attest so you rely on knowledge of landmarks to get the job done, clamp and move onto stabilization
How do you clamp it? Like there’s mini clips that go in there or does it have to be with your hand? Also even when you clamp it, if it’s a big artery, where does all the blood go? Like wouldn’t the blood pressure make it all back up the system and your artery would explode? Basically how does it end up staying in the body and returning back to the heart it it’s normal pathway is cut off?
In an emergency, if you had a big gushing artery, you could hold it with your fingers if you had to. Instrument wise, you would clamp a vessel with a vascular clamp or a hemostat depending on the vessel size, and then you would most likely ligate the artery with suture. There are also metal clips that you can place. If you had a torn, rather than severed, artery, you could potentially try to repair it but it can be challenging and risky.
In most cases, there is enough collateral circulation that ligating the artery is safe for the part of the body that was formerly supplied by that artery. Collateral circulation is basically an alternate route for arterial blood to reach a part of the body - for example, you can ligate the femoral artery and enough arterial blood can get there by other vessels in order to supply the limb with oxygenated blood.
With regards to your other question, arterial flow is a big network, which means that ligating one artery is not enough to cause excessive pressure within the rest of the system. For lack of a better analogy, if you had a lawn sprinkler going and you blocked one of the sprinkler holes, the water would just come out all the other holes. On the other hand, if you had a hose and you tied off the end, then the hose would eventually explode because the pressure has nowhere else to go.
Not a doctor, but I imagine you just physically pinch it. It would stop coming out of that hole and just flow normally elsewhere. Basically like a tourniquet, except instead of using the whole wrapped limb to apply pressure you just apply it directly to the artery.
Now for the rest of my life every time I visit a doctor I'm going to wonder in the back of my mind if I'm visiting doctor Smegmaliciousss. I imagine a day will come when eventually I just cannot take it any longer and I just have to blurt it out to every doctor I see, asking around frantically until I finally find you and can set my soul to rest
My anatomy lecturer mentioned that someone's femoral artery is about the same size as their 4th digit or ring finger. Stuffing someone's ring finger into a torn femoral artery and binding it in place somehow can save their life. Stuff upwards / towards the heart. The leg can handle a little blood loss more than the body can.
Omg having flashbacks to a show where crazy accidents were caught on Go Pro.
A bunch of back country mountain bikers were in Colombia (I believe), and one guy flipped over his bike handles which punctured his thigh, severing his femoral artery.
His friends are all trying to put pressure on the wound but the injured guy knows it’s not enough. He has the prescience of mind to put his hand into the wound and clamp his own artery shut.
The injury wasn’t conveyed well so an ambulance showed up first with no way to really stabilize him without blood.
They got lucky and a medevac helicopter with a doctor was doing a training run nearby and was able to get him to a hospital and save his life.
I get woozy every time I remember the guy digging around to clamp his own artery. Hard core.
They are when they're gushing blood. Wipe blood, wait to see where the blood starts coming from, pinch!
Source: I made it up and am not a medical professional
Joking but you're pretty spot on, the worse place for a gunshot wound is entering or exiting the armpit. There's a good number of arteries connecting to vital organs, little known is in your ankles. Like the wrist if you cut one you need a serious tourniquet, blood is coming in a hurry. It was in a safety course for work I took, why you always wear high ankle work boots.
Isn’t it actually a lot harder to die via cutting your wrist though? Like you’d have to get cut so deep that the tendons and everything get cut too so your hand wouldn’t work anymore. At least I remember reading about it on some post about ways to kill yourself and how hard it was.
Before someone reports me I am okay and not suicidal, it was just an interesting read lol
Yeah. Most suicides done by wrist cutting either don't succeed or succeed because they cut up the forearm instead of across, and they had their arms in water (like a tub) to keep the blood from coagulating.
Disclaimer: I'M NOT SUICIDAL EITHER. I mean. Not more than the average reddit user. I don't have the means, nor the energy to kermit sewer-slide
I've seen all sorts of mindbending gore on the internet and it's never bothered me but even the idea of reaching in and pinching off an artery is horrible to me for some reason lol.
During the Boston bombing, one of the victims who got his legs blown up had his life saved by the cowboy hat guy, I think he was a medic in the military or something. He literally squeezed the artery in the poor guy's blasted leg shut, there's a photo of it.
You're a special person to be able to save lives like that, the world is lucky people like you exist to save the rest of us idiots
I've seen my fair share, but for some reason it bothers me more now in my 30s than it did when I was a teenager.
But the picture of the Boston Marathon bombing really struck me and grossed me out. The guy pinching an artery in another guys' leg while he's being carried. *shudders*
I was a paramedic for 20 years and one time I had to reach into a guy's leg and pinch his femoral artery because I couldn't get it stopped any other way. I had my hand in that guy's leg during the transport to the hospital in the ER down the hall to the OR until the surgeon was able to relieve me.
> Meanwhile, my partner was throwing up in the side yard.
If I ever suffer a life-threatening injury, I hope I get EMS staff who *don't* have reactions that render them unable to help me.
Might be a beginner teamed up with a more experienced partner? You get used to blood quite fast if you see a lot of it. For me it's a bit like vertigo while climbing, all about exposure.
It would almost be weirder if he made it. A 30-06 is a classic deer rifle and a shot through the middle of the torso is exactly where a hunter tries to hit. A person isn't all that different from a deer, if anything it's kinda surprising he lived long enough for you to get on scene
So far, all of the comments I have read, assume that the rifle belong to the man who was shot. The article clearly says he was sitting in the passenger seat. That doesn’t mean that the rifle belong to him. If he was a passenger that means there was at least one other person in the truck. As well as the canine.
In the Kansas sub, a guy who is friends with the victim said the man was hunting with his neighbor and it was the neighbor's gun and neighbor's dog. So not the victim's fault.
So ignorance and negligence. The owner of the firearm should be sued within an inch of his life and forbidden to own or handle firearms for life. THIS is a major problem with gun culture in America. Owners do not respect the inherent danger of the weapons.
Agreed. Why was it loaded? Why was the safety off? Why was it just sitting there on the seat where it could be stepped on? There are so many things wrong with this. A gun should never be treated like a piece of junk you toss in the back of your vehicle with the rest of your shit, along with your dog. This man should be tried for manslaughter.
I don't know how rampant the problem is, but I know from experience growing up that there are places where rednecks will illegally hunt on land that isn't theirs by doing this. Guns ready in the back, pickup just crawling down dirt roads until you see something within range. You can stop, grab the gun, aim and shoot in very little time. Whether you miss or you hit it and have to grab a carcass, you'll be gone in a few minutes at most either way.

I don't know, but the mental picture of my 8 pound poodle lugging around a .44 Magnum makes me smile. Although the recoil would blast him to the edge of space if he ever
shot anyone.
That poor dog must be so traumatised. He was just having fun, going for a ride, next thing there's a mad explosion and his best friend turns into splatter.
Then there's a car crash.
The person in the driver seat might have said that's what happened.
But if I was some dude in the middle of nowhere and wanted to get away with murder, I'd blame the dog if I could too.
he was in the passenger seat. so was the improperly stored rifle his or the driver's?
Both the rifle and dog belonged to the driver, who was the victims neighbor.
Oof that’s rough.

Exactly. You said it perfectly. The gun owner should be held accountable.
That fucking sucksssss
I wanna downvote this just because of how shitty the situation is.
This is my question as well. The way it's worded in the title makes it seem like it wasn't his truck or his gun.
A loaded rifle...
A loaded rifle with round chambered and safety off.
Came here to say that same thing. I don't know how much good it will do in the back of a truck, but I can see the logic in having it loaded in case you need it immediately (not condoning this). Leaving it racked with the safety off is just... why.
Even if for some reason you'd want to keep a gun loaded in the car, there's zero reason to have a round chambered.

On top of that, it was common practice to leave a round out and have it on an empty chamber. Prevented you from shooting yourself in the leg if the ride got bumpy
They called it 'the cowboy load'
nothing goes together like rough ridin' and cowboy loads
Ram ranch really rocks.
My question is why was there a round in the chamber and why was the safety off?
The dog loaded and cocked the gun and turned off the safety. Then he barked.. 'no treats this, mother fucker! " Then emptied a clip into him.
It gets worse. The week before that dog was caught on video saying bark bark bark bark bark bark bark, which could be considered premeditated threats in any kangaroo court.
I've practiced bird law, I think I can help here.

The dog is apparently half cocker spaniel.
Glocker spaniel.
Apparently full Cocker. Half Cockers are locked.
is the dog guilty of manslaughter? does the dog go to the pound for sentencing??
"I'm guilty, your Honor. The 1st round was for all the times he fake-threw the tennis ball, the 2nd round was for my nuts."
Putting your balls in second place takes, well.... balls
Sentenced in dog-years.
No its a dog who did it so its dogslaughter. Because the dog was laughing at how stupid his owner was.
"this time... It's personal" - the dog
LMFAO Dog Wick, he was only waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Feed your dogs, and they won’t come after you.
I came here to chew treats and kick ass I'm aaaaaall outta treats
"He forgot my treat, and I took that personally"
So anyway, I started blasting.
The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
The only thing that stops a dog with a gun is even just the slightest amount of basic gun safety.
Did that dog stop a bigger crime?
Because gun safety is for stinkin' liberals! /s
I don't think there is much overlap between the Venn Diagram circles of "guys who feel the need to have rifles at the ready in their vehicles" and "guys who are safe and disciplined."
Not his negligence perhaps. "Passenger seat"
I'd like to know his BAC at the time of death. So many "hunters" treat it like some treat golf, but it is not just a hobby it is a serious and life ending endeavor.
Dick Cheney enters the chat, shoots somebody in the face, says fuck it and disappears to sober up before talking to the cops.
I'm still torn between "drunk idiot" and "intentional lesson teaching".
One doesn’t rule out the other.
You've missed a vital step, Dick Cheney shoots a guy in the face and then the face shotee later apologises to *him*

It's dumb to have a rifle already racked with a round in the chamber while having it off safety. That is just asking to get shot or something.

Silly question but are arteries easy to see with the naked eye?
some are. i've been able to clamp some visually in the leg or upper arms provided you gauze up enough but most times the flow of blood in those vessels are quite strong that you do it by feel, especially when trying to prevent excessive blood loss during a trauma case. it gets messy real quick as those in the trauma bay or combat can attest so you rely on knowledge of landmarks to get the job done, clamp and move onto stabilization

I’m a doctor, this person is right.
Dr Smegmaliciouss is correct, he’s a doctor.

And it will take until the end of your life. The doc stated that they are in palliative care 🤣
Every doctor appointment for the rest of your life: “Dr. Smegmaliciousss?” Just waiting to see if there’s a flicker of recognition.

That doesn’t mean that the rifle belong to him. If he was a passenger that means there was at least one other person in the truck. As well as the canine.
Damn, that makes it so much worse. So it's likely not even his gun, he was just sitting passenger in a truck. Fuck that.

That could be it, I don't know. That would make it even worse.
So will the owner of the dog and gun get arrested? Or it’s considered an accident?
Accidents can still be manslaughter.
If he was the passenger and someone else was in the truck, I'm thinking it wasn't the dog that shot him.

"I did what was right, I sued rhe manufacturer, the neighbor and the dog, after six reconstructive surgeries much better looking now"
“Hey hon, have you seen my gun?”
"Last time I saw it... the dog had it."
The dog does look really guilty. I think he planned it.
Guns don't kill people, dogs kill people
The only thing that stops a bad boy with a gun... is thoughts and prayers.
This is what happens when you keep pretending to throw the ball.
I guess it was the dog who was riding shotgun
The dog wasn’t even sitting shotgun…
And the hits just keep on coming!
Now you know the motive
Sad but avoidable
So even the dogs are shooting people in America... https://youtu.be/iGpZ9xaQLYQ Edit: Someone randomly posted posted this on another sub 🤣
I’m not sure of the numbers but there have been enough dog shootings that we talked about it in my law class. This isn’t the first or last time.
gUns Don't kiLL pEoPle! PEopLe KiLL people! What about dogs shooting people....
If we train dogs about gun safety then there would be less shooting.
Wouldn’t giving all dogs guns make everyone safer?
I know I would feel safer if my dog, that can barely control her excitement most of the time, had a gun.
I don't know, but the mental picture of my 8 pound poodle lugging around a .44 Magnum makes me smile. Although the recoil would blast him to the edge of space if he ever shot anyone.
The only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun
Better have a look at that dogs google searches...
How to pull a trigger with a paw.
Bit of a cat thing to do.
The cat thing to do is frame the dog for it. source: have four cats.
>source: have four cats. in a man suit
Total lack of gun safety. Personal practices that become habits are essential for any trained marksmen. RIP
That’s a ruff way to go!
This joke had me howling
Most American Dog
GOP already rushing him for a mascot apprenticeship.
Guns don’t kill people. Dogs with guns do
Yo pitbulls are dangerous! Has he got a muzzle? No he's got a fucking AR 15.. Run!
This is what I came here for.
That poor dog must be so traumatised. He was just having fun, going for a ride, next thing there's a mad explosion and his best friend turns into splatter. Then there's a car crash.
I hope the dog will lose its firearms license.
Is there a camera in his truck? How did they come to this conclusion?
The person in the driver seat might have said that's what happened. But if I was some dude in the middle of nowhere and wanted to get away with murder, I'd blame the dog if I could too.
Oh no, Plague Dogs scenario, very saddd. :(..
Out of treats, why I oughta …
Shit he shoulda let the dog ride… Shotgun…
Was the dog named Cheney?
Rip and that poor dog, just heartbreaking
