The usual reason for this is because the casing usually ejects to the right. If you held the gun on your left shoulder, it would eject the spent cartridge (possibly) directly into your face or arm. Those spent shells can be rather hot......

Would firing a gun dislocate your shoulder if it were not for your wrist?

It might; however we have elbows. If the gun was held in an arm with no wrist, or a tightly bound wrist, and the gun had a high enough kick-back, the arm would probably bend at the elbow and possibly whack the person in the face. If the person had a completely unbendable arm, then the shoulder would probably get dislocated after firing the gun, provided that the gun, again, has a high kick-back. Hope that helps you :)
