Important that nobody was seriously hurt - but the jokes coming off of this are hilarious...
But this is some of what we've heard:
The quail were "stocked" and "released" before the VP rat patrol vehicles, the "Lawyer" was coming back from a shoot, did not announce it, and apparently, the VP did not visually confirm the quarry was a legal "cock" or "hen" and just managed to take the shot on the lawyer instead... Or is he that bad of a shot?? |

Its sad and I for one feel bad for Cheney and his buddy. How the hell would you guys feel if you shot your good friend by mistake? Knowing your buddy is in the hospital with all sorts of crap inside his body. And have to sit back and listen to the media joke about you and your buddy in the hospital. Nothing funny about this if you ask me. Some people are enjoying this and its rather sad and pathetic.  |

Skip. I'd feel like an absolute arse. In my life, I've had slugs whiz by me 3 times. 2 were avoidable accidents, was was on purpose by a "misguided misanthrope". Lemme tell ya right freakin' now, without strict discipline in firearm safety, accidents are bound to happen. Deadly accidents. Cheney's hunting bud had a "mild heart attack" today from irritation from birdshot. Sounds like he got blasted pretty good. The "Only a Replublican" crack was just that , a wisecrack, nothing more. Hillary would be a good pointer tho...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I had an idiot take a shot over my head as I went out to change a target.
Once.
He won't ever do that again.
And I read today the sheriff or SP was notified within 1 hour.
The mainstream press is just pissed because the locals were notified before they were.

By now everyone has heard that the guy that Cheney shot has run into complications. Apparantly, one shot either got lodged in his heart intially, or has migrated there, causing an irregular rythym or something (atrial fibrillation) that has been classified as a mild heart attack.
If it had been Ted Kennedy or Barney Frank Or Billy C that had shot someone, I doubt if the reaction from the media/entertainment world would have been any different. It's all umm...
*ahem*
...fair game.

I haven't been following this news story too closely, but "peppered with buckshot" as was reported by the ranch owner is whole lot different then having a piece of buckshot either in the proximity of your heart or migrating towards it and causing a heart attack.
It was an accident but it shouldn't be taken so lightly. The truth would be nice. You'd think they'd know that if it looks like they're hiding something people are of course going to be suspicious. |

Maybe it was just shock?
A firearm being fired close to you but not by you (outside of a range when you expect it) really gets the adrenaline going.
(I know)
The guy was 78.
Bird shot out of a 28 gauge at 30 yds. 90 feet.
That's about the end of the effective range of a shotgun; isn't it?
