Like I said....A show sponsored by the sheriff, run by supposed "Certified" instructors, at a location that is a licensed gun club and supposed to be a safe place to shoot. I think he was being responsible....in hind sight, of course it looks irresponsible, but up to the moment of the tragedy he felt there was nothing wrong.

Do you really think the father deserves to be prosecuted and go to prison?
No certainly not. He has suffered a great loss and will have to deal with it for the rest of his life. Terrible thing. However I think there was enough blame to go around....no one individual will see any jail time here. Fines maybe but no guilt. It was an unfortunate accident.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
