    Kansas man dies after dog steps on rifle, causing it to fire: reports
    A person in the driver's seat was reportedly unharmed
    By Bradford Betz | January 24, 2023

    A man was killed in Kansas Saturday after a dog stepped on a rifle, causing it to discharge, according to local reports.

    The bizarre occurrence happened around 9:40 a.m. in a pickup truck on the 1600 block of East 80th Street near Wellington, a rural area about 46 miles south of Wichita, KSNT reported.

    Authorities say the bizarre incident happened in a rural area south of Wichita.

    The dog, investigators believe, stepped on the rifle in the back of the truck, causing it to fire and hit the man, who was riding in the front passenger seat, the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office told KWCH.

    Another person was in the driver’s seat but was unharmed.

    Emergency medical personnel administered CPR on the passenger. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

    Authorities have not released the man’s identity, saying only that he was in his early 30s.

    No further details were released about who owned the truck or the dog. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
    You have to manage the environment around any and every loaded gun.

    Isn’t it illegal to be driving around with a loaded rifle during hunting season?

    State Law, illegal in Michigan, at any time. Other States may be different.

    They are gun friendly.

    Under Kansas law, a person may transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle without any permit required, regardless of whether the loaded firearm is stored in a container or transported in plain view.1 Since July 1, 2014, Kansas has prohibited a city or county from enforcing local laws regulating the transportation of a firearm in a vehicle.2
