And that is precisely the reason that I don't let my dog have a gun.

Keep the safety on or use a trigger lock,

Maybe put that firearm in a safe. Or better yet, get rid of it. Of all the things that say, "I am not a responsible gun owner", getting shot by your dog has got to be pretty high up on the list.

I'm not saying put bulls are the most dangerous breed, but when was the last time you heard of a retriever or a lab shooting someone?

Oh, great. Another idiot going on about pit bulls. It's not the breed, it's the owner. Any dog can shoot you if you don't take it to the range and teach it basic gun safety.
