A man, Gregory Lanier, was driving his truck with his bulldog in the passenger seat. He had a .380 pistol that he thought was unloaded on the floor between the driver and passenger's seat. His bulldog was jumping around and hit the gun which was loaded. The bullet went through Lanier's leg and hit the door on the other side. I think that driving with a gun that your not even sure if it's loaded or not and a jumpy little dog is stupid and shouldn't be done.
