Cool....
Good for you Mr. Cap! You fought for you Rights and you won!
I’m sure you had a lot of of help from like-minded individuals, so I say: Thanks to all you folks, too.
It’s nice to know there are still so many patriotic American individuals left in New Jersey.
Enjoy the hunts, sir.
It didn't stop him though, he still gets out and bow hunts for everything from Deer to Bear.
Why would anyone hunt quadriplegics?
Good for him.
I’ve followed his case for a while. He won his firearms purchaser ID after a long court case. Congrats.
Most powerful blowgun ever!
Dove hunter, deer hunter, quadriplegic hunter,....
I'm glad that he's able to hunt again.
“Why would anyone hunt quadriplegics? “
All white meat.
