Makes sense. A loaded gun on the floor of your pickup truck doesn't seem to me to be very useful for self defense. Of course, reading the aritcle linked in the OP, this appears to be yet another idiot who "didn't think it was loaded".

I smell conspiracy! A second dog, in the back seat, with a gun. Analysis of the trajectory should be done.

Guns don't hurt people. Dogs do.
