Today, my neighbor tried to shoot my dog but missed and hit a rock. A shard of the bullet hit me in the leg and fractured my shin. Hello from the ER. FML
KingSquisher tells us more.

The dog was in the neighbors property "chasing the livestock" she told animal control when in reality the dog was playing with the horse. I went out to retrieve my dog when she shot. Probably didn't see me. The dog has escaped several times to several locations the past three years

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tried to shoot your dog... I hope you reported them to the policeman and they're currently trying to say hello from jail.

in this situation I'm going to be "one of those people." call the cops on his ass and then sue his ass. he needs to go to jail. first off, he kind of shot you. that's some shit right there. Buuut he tried to shoot your dog first. hell no. I'd be beating some ass. I like my fur babies more than I like most people so it would definitely be on. I'm glad the pup is Okay and I'm glad your injury wasn't worse than your leg, bc it could have been worse, for sure. good luck with everything.

He tried to shoot your dog (!!!) while you were in close enough proximity to catch the ricochet. This person, first of all, has no business owning a gun, and needs to go to jail.

You misspelled dipshit.

I assume you were referring that OP'S neighbor was not a person but a dipshit? it kinda reads like you are saying the commenter is a dipshit for misspelling.. something? in case that is not what you meant, though you'd maybe want to know in order to clarify you meant no ill will towards the random commenter?

I'd prefer to take a bullet instead of my dog any day.

I agree completely

This is exactly what I came here to say. I'd rather take the bullet and be able to recover completely than have them actually hit and kill my dog!

This isn't an FML, this is a win, as in you're going to win everything he owns in the lawsuit.

At least it's not hello from the other side. You know, as in being dead.

I'd be impressed.... And slightly scared, if they managed to post from the other side...

This is why now you should sue him for endangerment or something, I can't believe your neighbour is so cruel as to try and shoot your dog don't give him a second chance.

He probably shouldn't have a gun... but let him have one because it is against the Constitution to control firearms in anyway at all even if the person with the gun is a maniac or just a ********. Glad you and your dog are still alive.

Oh, no. They found ways around that. Get in a fight with your spouse? No guns. Get picked up with a little weed? No guns. Speeding more than 15mph over? No guns. Involuntary institution? No guns. Defending yourself with a gun? No guns. All of these happen on the regular.

Unless your neighbor was trying to euthanize your dog with your permission (which, come on, there are way more humane ways to do!!!), you better be pressing ALL the charges.

Karma will get him. WHEN he gets charged, hopefully he'll be behind bars for a long while, his wife leaves him and takes all his shit, and he never sees his kids again.
KingSquisher 13
Well.... she has kids that are 30 or so and live far away, her husband is dead, and once I helped the paramedics haul her fat ass into their truck because she was too heavy for them

Not my problem, not yours. She should've asked you to remove your dog first, not that you wouldn't have tried anyway.

So your neighbor is in jail now, yes?

I'd be headed from the er straight to prison because my neighbor would be dead
