Did you see the story where a Mother shoots her son while shooting at the neighbors dog?

A Houston mother accidentally shot her own son in the abdomen while aiming to hit her neighbor's dog. A 6-month-old boxer puppy ran out of it's owners house and the neighbor fired 3 rounds off at the dog but mistakenly hit her own son.
Can you imagine what it will be like in Texas when anyone age 21 or older can carry a handgun as long as they don't have a legal prohibition? No background check, no training and no background checks on private guns sales.

I hadn't heard, but have since read some online news reports about it aside from the source provided.
I know that many dogs of all breeds and dispositions, have a thng about bicycles. They want to bark at and chase them, given the chance.

I don't even have to "imagine" what happens when hot-headed, impulsive or even just fearful people are carrying a gun. I'm glad the woman's son survived a bullet ricocheting and hitting his abdomen...and that Bruno the boxer just got grazed.
