      She wasn’t killed but your point stands: The headline, while obviously being clickbaity and maybe even trying to be funny hides the underlying problem:

      Somehow, the dog had triggered the shotgun – which had a live round chambered – to fire, damaging the vehicle and striking a female passerby.

      […]

      It is illegal in Nebraska to drive with a loaded shotgun in your vehicle.

        Every law follows a necessitating incident. Why are people so stupid? I have a shotgun, and while it is loaded, I never had an inclination to keep it chambered for any reason.

      there are no qualifications for gun ownership in Nebraska.

      only a 5 states require a license for a shot gun, in the form of a Firearms ID. They require no coursework on training.

      Typically you only need to take a gun safety class if you are buying a handgun, and even then only a dozen states require that.

          do you live in Nebraska? you are welcome to move there and participate in their politics and change the laws.

          but I don’t think you’re interested in doing that.

            Moving to Nebraska is a pretty high cost for trying to improve the life expectancy of people who don’t want that
