Dog Wiggles Paw Free to Shoot Florida Man

Associated Press

PENSACOLA, Fla. - A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.

Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.

On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies - one in his arms and another in his left hand - when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

Deputies found three of the puppies in a shallow grave outside Bradford's home, said sheriff's Sgt. Ted Roy.

The other four appeared to be in good health and were taken by Escambia County Animal Control, which planned to make them available for adoption.

I knew it! I just knew I would live long enough to see the animals fighting back!

Oh God!!

More fuel for Bywarren and his support of "the gun lobby" - now, he will no doubt actively campaign for the use of tanks and RPG'S against our furry friends.

Pedro, I taught that puppy how to shoot and defend himself and his loved ones.

Well, dare we say another case of the 'criminal' being taken, err wounded, by his own weapon.

by - if more cases of the gun totin' bugger being shot by his/her own gun would surface, maybe just maybe these dudes will come around.

What makes you think I am uneducated, wish to be elsewhere?

I am delighted to hear that you have successfully taught our furry friends to shoot back-so obviously when you come back we will be regaled of the huge "Moose Wars of 2004"

Are you thinking of signing up Charlie for my class? I would give you special rate.
