Stupid man, what does he expect when he leaves the safety clip off. He's lucky that was all he lost.

Not dog related, but my grandad used to tie his old single barrel 12-bore to the crossbar of his bike, and I should perhaps add he couldn't walk very well, as the result of falling off a harvest cart before 1900, but he could bike across a ploughed field.
To cut a long story short, the old gun was held together with bits of wire and string, and went off while strapped to the bike, while it was being ridden. Shot the handlebars off, but did nothing to my grandad at all. He wasn't half cross about the bike though.
We did persuade him to dump the old gun though, in favour of one bought for half a crown in the pub. It was another SB 12-bore, dated 1904, by Harrington of Massachusets. It's a remarkably nice old gun in fact, and is still safe to use, and I do occasionally.

That shot gun sounds a bit like one my Dad had.
At previous farm he was intending to shoot crows out of the bedroom window (well we all consider it I guess).
Anyway the gun was pretty loose round the headstock and somehow it went off while pointed safely down
A neat hole was blasted through the floorboards and a decorative plate in the front room was blown to bits.
No-one else was home at the time.
Ever since then we never had guns other than an air rifle.
The hole was patched with a bit of tin both sides which is probably there to this day.
