No surprise that former Republican Adam Kinzinger was also at the event. Reports are that they were shooting non-angled steel targets at five yards with scoped rifles.

If this doesn’t cost Lucas the election, Missouri is in for a rough time for the next few years.

More photos here. Yeah, it looks to be about five yards to the targets.

I didn’t know Alec Baldwin was running for Senator from Missouri.

I checked Wikipedia and it seems that reporters are widely considered human, so this could be a problem for the democrat’s image.

I was going to say, bet he was shooting steel from too close. Stupid.

Ok, I’ll say it. He’s a JAG, not a real Marine. Leave the rifles to actual tip of the spear men.

Rifle at 5 yards? What is the point?

I did get hit with a piece of spall while I was shooting a pistol at steel at five yards. Jacketed rounds, not a good idea. A little piece of jacket, maybe half and inch long and a few kilometers wide stuck in my cheek, just under my eye (I was wearing glassed).

A little blood trickled down my face and the thought that hit me immediately was: “Did I just shoot myself? That’s stupid!”

“shooting non-angled steel targets at five yards with scoped rifles.”

A thousand facepalms isn’t enough.

I hope this also means he shot his senate hope as well . Since Adam Kinzinger was there too, it also shows his quality when it comes to shooting.

We need some DemocRAT and Reporter reform. They both should be banned, PERMENANTLY.

He could have so easily been killed. They were shooting at steel plates 15 FEET AWAY! They had tannerite on the table, for no explained reason whatsoever.
