Sorry, but I think this is funny. Maybe the cat was getting even! LOL! Now
watch some asshole try to get a billed passed banning cats in Michigan
because of that moron's stupidity.

Maybe after a few hunting accidents, Wisconsin will rethink their proposal
to shoot cats.

Well, I think it's pretty funny, too. The guy actually should be
charged with something -- I don't know what -- extreme stupidity? Cat
endangerment? Who leaves a loaded piece on the counter while they're
cooking?
I wouldn't admit this anywhere but this group, but the initial, first
thought that popped into my brain was "I'm glad the cat wasn't shot."

This guy is blaming the cat for his own stupidity. Dropping a 9mm handgun
will not make it go off. Maybe a revolver with the trigger guard removed
and a hair-trigger, but not a 9 mm. He either shot himself or his
girlfriend shot him when she caught him boffing somebody else. The cat is
innocent! The man is stupid!! The press may have fell for it because it
was a catchy headline and a slow news day, but the police won't buy it for a
second!

Why does such a person feel the need to have a loaded gun beside them whilst
they cook dinner?

Serves him right for being so stupid. An innocent passerby could have copped
it instead. Or more importantly - a cat!
