Guns Don't Kill People, Puppies Do

CNN.com is reporting a story about a puppy who managed to turn the executioner's pistol back on the executioner himself. A man was preparing to shoot a litter of seven pups in their canine heads because he couldn't find homes for them. So execution is the next best option?!? It happened like this:

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.

If this guy dies (which is unlikely, he got hit in the hand), he's got Darwin Award candidate written all over him. No word on whether the pup will be charged with malicious wounding.
