A dog owner got his firearms license revoked after his dog shot him with a rifle. The man, who is reportedly a passionate hunter, was shot in the arm after his dog managed to release the trigger on a loaded rifle that was lying in his car. The unnamed man survived the attack but a German court dismissed his appeal to own a rifle, or get his hunting permit back. The court revoked his license and subsequent appeal, “because it must be assumed that he will handle firearms and ammunition carelessly in the future as well”.
