You guys kill me. The guy that was shot , is my wifes boss. Nice guy. And yes he is a lawyer. A very good one and a nice guy.

Haven't seen 1 person here even hint at how he was. Only blame game.

I saw on the news that he was expected to be released today or tomorrow and that his daughter said he looked like he had a case of the chicken-pox where he caught the .28 gauge pellets.

Of course in the same report, I saw the reporter show pellets from a 12 gauge shell that looked to be 4 or 5 shot and tried to equate that to quail load from a 28 gauge..so who knows, maybe your wife's boss is worse than the report said...

I didn't hint because the news reported it.

So, is he getting out tomorrow or is it worse than reported, because I noticed in your righteous indignation you didn't actually tell us how he was.

I'm not rightous. Just no one gives 2 craps about the guy that wa shot. Only how to A.) Ride the Cheney bandwagon or B.) ride the Cheney bashing bandwagon.

Harry has some BIRD shot in his eye. May have to be removed. HE also has a pellet in his throat that is close to his vocal cords. From what I have gatherd from what my wife has found out.

I understand he will be released tomorrow.

A 28 guage at 30 yards?  It just stung, he'll be fine.  Most women start off in trap shooting at 20 guage and do fine with the recoil.



My question is, When will the 10 guage Over and Unders be coming in as presents from across the nation with "Shoot Him Again," on the plaque?

You can definitely put me in the "don't care how he's doing" group.  Sorry, but I don't know him.  Why would I give a ****?

The first thing I thought of, was wow, he got lucky, could have lost an eye, but since his daughter compared it to the chicken-pox, I assumed he was wearing shooting glasses.

Maybe his daughter was mis-quoted or needs to be more accurate when speaking with the press.

If it bothers you that much, start a thread about, as this thread was clearly intended to be about Cheney all along.

Did Cheney's gun have a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time?

Actually, RedTop, you're quite right.  A case of more noise than thought, on my part.

All lawyer jokes aside, I do hope he'll be well.

...and I still don't think it's his fault.

Im duly impressed.   The media is all over this thing a like a squadron of giant green headed flies on a steamy pile of horsecrap.  If any of you have ever hunted quail/chucker/pheasant then you know this story is a tragedy barely avoided and an all too common hazard of the hunt.

Folks that make fun of a hunting accident are crappy people at heart imo.  

Nothing funny about it.

the idiots on "inside edition" were cackling like the hens that they are about this story.   The VP is a moron and he should step up and say that he's an idiot and apologize to the victim's family that would diffuse the whole situation for him.  however it doesn't change the fact that the media is so BS it's sickening.  Don Henley called it right in his tune "dirty laundry".  not to de rail the thread but a few years ago a woman who owned a small condo in the coconut grove choked herself to death with an automated sliding gate.  the job was done by a colleague and competitor.  we are one of the oldest and more visible contractors in automated entry systems in this market and we were contacted by the ABC affiliate for a film and comment thing.  I declined politely.  apparently they could find no one else who would talk to them so the reporter herself (the on air personality) called to pitch me.  I said no thanks and hung up.  she called back again with a scolding tone.  at that point I spoke my mind and all I heard was silence.  they ran their stupid story without a single comment from anyone in our industry.  I felt very good about our industry that day.  I lump the mainstream press with e-coli bacteria and other things that live in the amoeba slime pit.

storch, I almost hate to say it but I dont think Cheney was totally at fault here.  ALL parties in the quail hunt need to be absolutely certain that everyone knows where everyone else is at all times.  Sounds like the old lawyer dude fell behind and was coming back up to the hunting party in quiet mode.  Unfortunately, sounds like a bird was flushed and lead in the direction of the victim.  Bad rap for everyone.

Quail hunting is a hell load of fun but can be hazardous to more than just the quail.

Old Dick is lucky but the guy that got hit with the bird shot is hell luckier.
