I'm curious as to the details.

To be honest though, it's most certainly a routine kind of hunting accident - but give it a day, and people around the world will be making fun of him over this 'til there's no tomorrow :hmm:

Well...this may put a dent in the NRA's position.

NRA will put it to good use - it is now obvious that the man shot didn't die - and unlike movies, people do not typically die when shot!

I like the movies perception that as soon as you're shot, you keel over instantly! In reality, even when mortilly wounded, you will still have full functioning of your body for at least 20 seconds unless you hit the nervous system.

An example is the Red baron himself - even though the wound that killed him completely obliterated his heart, he still not only landed his plane, but even talked to the British soldiers that ran up to it afterwards - all with no pumping heart!

-S

PS. Pheasant shot won't ever kill anyone - has 0 penetration! Buckshot is a different story.

Big Dick has had about 4 heart attacks and a pacemaker. What is he doing in the woods with a shotgun anyway? What a moron, as long as they don't give Bushy any guns... or sharp objects for that matter.

Bush is a big time Texan, and his gun collection probably makes all of ours look bad! He is totally for freedom with firearms - which is a good thing for us! There are a ton a hoplophobiacs running around these days which is why.
