So it was only another Replubican. All kidding aside, accidents with firearms are inexcusable.

sounded illegal at first
because they drove around in a car to find the quail
then they sneak out quick and start shooting ill prepared...
lucky they were on a private property...
but that wasnt hunting....it wasnt sport ...it was  |

you got that right! Know your "backdrop" and be aware of your surroundings. If there is a hint of doubt you shouldnt be shooting!
There is NO excuse and I dont care if I offend someone either. If my best friend wants to show me their new gun and assures me its unloaded....it still gets checked and treated as if it were, no matter how much I trust them.
Its too bad responsible gun owners once again have to feel the heat of a irresponsible act. |

My Dad was a stickler for firearm safety. There were no "unloaded" guns. Ammo was stored properly. You don't need to chamber it for it to go off. I once worked on Police cruisers, some of those guys had shotshells, slugs and 9mm rounds rolling all over the floor. I'd box them up and hand them back with my best"IDIOT BOY!" look. One of the reasons that I gave up hunting was that I couldn't tolerate the casual handling of firearms of others.

It's quite obvious how casually our VP handles firearms, don't you think?   |
 Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

Why are accidents called accidents? Most acciedents are preventable to a point, but odds are there will be accidents. From what I heard it was a miscommunication between members of the party. The guy who got hit left to chase a wounded bird, and returned as the VP was swinging and aiming on a bird, the guy never let them know he was back in the line. Could it have been avoided, yes had the guy called out that he was back at the line, or had he been paying attention to what was going on, he could have stopped where he was, or moved. The press is making a big deal about it because the story went out in a local Texas paper first, and the bigshot White House Press Corp did not get it till later. I have been hit by shot before, it happens, granted I was 70 or 80 yards away in a duck blind.
