Shoot amongst us! Somebody’s got to have some relief! (hat tip to Jerry Clower)

I read something once about bearing arms.

“Stop helping me!”

If you are mauled by a bear, you might as well be shot by your friend.

You know you’re having a bad day when....

Dick Cheney to the rescue...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Shoot we much.

You know the old joke about the two guys out camping are surprised by a bear one morning. The first guy pulls a .22 short out of his backpack, and the other says, “You can’t kill a bear with that!” The first one says, “I don’t have to,” and kneecaps the other guy.

My initial thought was that something along these lines happened...and I’m glad that the shooter was merely incompetent and not evil.

Was his friend's name Harley?

I remember an old Peter Hathaway Capstick article about a lion tearing into a safari camp one night. He was dragging off the son, I think, and the dad shot the lion in the head with a 243. Trouble was, the son had his arm down the lion’s neck and the bullet took it off.
