Typical misleading headline. Only in the article itself do we learn that Goofy was (a) drunk, and (b) picking up the pistol when she had a ND. Undoubtedly, she had her finger wrapped around the trigger.
The shooting occurred when one of her dogs jumped onto a bed about 7 p.m. and knocked the gun to the floor. When Strouse retrieved the gun, a .380-caliber Kel-Tec, it discharged.
and
Deputies wrote Luanne Strouse was extremely intoxicated when they arrived.
Sounds like an alcohol induced Rule 3 violation to me. Another reminder of a) why you should not handle a firearm if you’ve been drinking, and b) why we always obey The 4 Rules.
Well, there is the one about the guy and the dog and the shotgun and the boat. But the guy didn’t actually blame the dog. I suppose the headline would be about the ducks.
