I’m not gonna say I’m a gun expert, but I don’t see why you need a loaded shotgun in the back of the car to begin with. Like isn’t only having your gun loaded when you’re ready to use it a pretty common gun safety thing? Even if the safety was on and the dog accidentally turned it off, or the safety was faulty, I feel like there was no reason for it to be loaded and somewhere in the back seat a dog could walk over it or however it happened.










That’s really a question you need to answer for yourself but everyone has issues. The fact that you are self aware of them means you know when they happen and can do things to control it better.
I don’t think you need to introduce yourself with a warning, you deserve to have privacy and boundaries while you deal with your issues and heal, but if you feel safe enough with someone to open up to them, you can explain what you’re struggling with, and in normal casual relationships, you can use that self awareness to control your issues.
Nobody’s perfect, everyone has flaws, you’re clearly not a malicious person if you’re here asking this, you’re someone who is struggling with some issues. But you recognize those issues and want to deal with them, that’s a huge step a lot of people don’t even get to.
