Yar-El Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Article - Man recovering after being shot by his dog The 23-year-old suffered injuries to his legs and buttocks A man who was accidentally shot by a 12-gauge shotgun on Saturday after his dog jumped into a boat is recovering. Matthew Marcum's legs and buttocks were injured in the bizarre incident and he was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center in Portland. Marcum's father, Henry, said his 23-year-old son was about to tie up an 11-foot open aluminum boat, when his 3-year-old Labrador, Drake, jumped into the boat. Matthew Marcum said his dog, Drake, is a good dog and he isn't upset with him. *Pauses for a moment, and then breaks out laughing* :animelol: :animelol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Nice story to tell the grandkids when he gets older about how grandpa got shot in the butt by a dog. Maybe it will teach them about gun safety. Glad to see he isn’t upset with the dog, because the dog wasn’t the one stupid enough to have a shell chambered in the shotgun while driving a boat.

Chevron 7 locke Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Who cares what PETA has to say? Was the shotgun pointing at the guy? or did the dog somehow turn the gun around when he jumped in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Monance Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 aww, Labradors are so cute. I know, it's kind of unrelated but it has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't being serious...this is pure bad luck. No one could have really expected the dog to accidentally "pull the trigger", even if the gun would have been pointing at the guy.

Astor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Maybe it will teach them about gun safety. Very true. I'd like to know this - why did the guy need a shotgun in the boat with him in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Perhaps this thing was staged!!!! {no, that'd be ridiculous...} That is a very good question, Astor, perhaps he lives in gator country, but it's still plausible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'd like to know this - why did the guy need a shotgun in the boat with him in the first place? Big scary Bass I've taken a shotgun in a canoe many times while duck hunting putting out decoys and getting out to the blind. I have also taken boat/canoe to get out to my deer blind. I was however taught to remove the shell from the chamber before getting into a vehicle (that includes boats), going over a fence or climbing into my blind. I usually have the chamber open and the safety on when doing anything except hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yar-El Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 *Mentally replays a scene from The Mummy.* What are the chances of having a loaded gun with the safety off, sitting in your boat, and it just so happens to be pointed at you while the dog jumps in? PETA people must be calling this "animals revenge"... Very true. I'd like to know this - why did the guy need a shotgun in the boat with him in the first place? Duck hunting?

CommanderQ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 You know, Triggergod, this could be the beginning of a series of attacks lead by animals in vengeance against PETA.

Chevron 7 locke Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Cause PETA is really annoying. I think the guy forgot to feed the dog and this was the dog "Persuading" him to feed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
