He should be given a medal.

Great point! I knew it even before it made headlines. There was a positive shift in the force.

Cheney is clearly at fault, no questions asked.

So what if the other guy was "out of position" with the rest of the hunting group. What if it was some other hunter, not in their group, but hunting in the same area?

There is NO excuse for firing at anything without knowing what is down-range, should the intended target be missed.

Another question I haven't seen answered.... Where is the quail Cheney was shooting at? He fired, did he hit it? Or was he sound shooting in that direction because the other guy was walking over there?

You know what happens to regular people who have these types of "accidents"? They loose their hunting licenses and probably their LTCs. In this case, Cheney won't even get a fine or have to pay for the hospital fees.

----

Let me add something to that - Anyone have any information on Iraq or Afganistan involving "friendly fire" incidents? Have there been any acidental shootings where the shooter was court-marshalled? I'd like to know that.

Midnight,

Your missing the point. He shot a lawyer. It is always justified.

I'm sitting here amazed at the spin.. some brown shirt republicans are actually trying to off some of the blame onto the guy that caught a face full of buckshot. Eagler, yer really begining to come off as a classic apologist nazi that showed up at a republican clam bake in the wrong halloween costume.

Gun Saftey. The guy that pulls the trigger is 'to blame'. No other, no apportionment, no BS excuses.

Now, for the resta you comedians, to point out the guy with the holes in his face is a lawyer doesn't change who screwed up... Cheney shoulda been using door slugs if the game was lawyers.

the quail was at fault...did he get the bird?

...cation this? easy: "pwned"

The Shooter Is Responsible. Period.

The whole party were a pack of damnfools for even continuing to shoot with a hunter out of position, out of sight and unaccounted for. Period.

On another note...what amazes me is that I expected the anti-gun cult to pick up this torch and run it into the ground. I expected to see an endless litany of poorly thought out, shallow-logic arguements for banning guns entirely. I expected this board to be crawling with similar pap, yet....hmmm?

Must be 'cause he shot a lawyer...who could argue?

I'd be more concerned if he missed:aok

It's just too bad that Killshooter wasn't turned on at that ranch.

Actually, Sarah Brady made a comment on it. Something about wondering why Cheney always invited her out hunting...
