Dog shoots Florida man Gregory Dale Lanier in the leg with a 9mm handgun
Sebring, Florida -- A Highlands County man is recovering after police say he was shot by an unlikely suspect: his pet dog.
35-year-old Gregory Dale Lanier was driving with his pet pooch on Saturday when the dog kicked a .380 pistol that was on the truck's floor.
Lanier thought the gun was unloaded, but quickly learned otherwise after hearing a "boom, saw smoke and felt a burning in his leg," Highlands Today reports.
The gun had discharged, firing a single round into Lanier's leg. He was not seriously injured.
No attempted murder charges are expected for Fido; police have ruled the shooting accidental. Sebring Police Commander Steve Carr says he never heard of a case like this before.

I didn't say 9mm is .380
OK, just playing along....really
How did you ever clean them?
It took more than once?
Dog will not be charged, during interviews with Police, he claimed he was threatened and feared for his life.
I suppose it is not absolutely necessary, but it is certainly a good idea.
^This. All different cases(not just length) but all the same 9mm diameter bullet.
I just don't have the time to change the casings on my bullets.
