Keep the safety on or use a trigger lock,

Maybe put that firearm in a safe. Or better yet, get rid of it. Of all the things that say, "I am not a responsible gun owner", getting shot by your dog has got to be pretty high up on the list.

Just simply, why was it ready to fire? I suppose I'm of a Glock kind of mindset, unless you're seconds from killing something the chamber should be empty.
