The big news is that John Kerry went in a bait shop in Ohio, feigned bad English, and asked "can I get me a hunting license here?"
His PR people say he paid $140 for it. He is apparently planning on coming back to kill a deer or something. I hope the game warden is there to arrest him when he does, because he will be POACHING. Check the Ohio DNR page for yourself. There is no $140 hunting license in Ohio. None at all. The relevant license Kerry would need is an annual nonresident license that sells for $125. Kerry doesn't have an Ohio hunting license.
Drudge has another cute Kerry-with-a-gun picture posted with the story (sorry, I don't know how to get pictures to show up with my posts). Kerry obviously stole the pose from Saddam Hussein. Look at where his trigger finger is. If you can get the whole tape, I'll bet you dinner at Ruth's Chris he didn't open the action to check if it was unloaded before he grabbed the trigger and pulled it all the way back as shown in the picture.
And another thing. Have you noticed that Kerry only poses with shotguns? After handguns and 50-caliber rifles, the next item on Sarah Brady et al's list is "sniper rifles". It wouldn't be cricket for the president who's going to take away your deer rifle to be posing with a bolt action deer gun like the ones police and military snipers use then, now would it?

The fact that he claims to have a Ohio hunting license will not sit well with the PETA people.
The license is 125 and the waterfowl stamp is $15 + $140.00
That kitten got away. He's smart and he's fast.
Will the DNC release pictures of FnKerry low crawling as he stalks his prey??
Kerry invents the confetti shotgun as an answer to crime.
"Confetti never killed anyone and it can be made from my shredded Senate votes."
God bless our troops wherever they may be.
I heard he said he was going back to shoot birds.
Nope; a Non-Resident 3-day Tourist Small Game Hunting License; which covers pheasant, quail, ruffed grouse, woodcock, Wilson's snipe or jacksnipe, rails, coots, gallinule, ducks, geese, brant, crow, rabbit, squirrels, doves, boar, and groundhog costs $40. If there's waterfowl in Kerry's alleged plans, he needs a Ohio Wetlands Stamp ($15) and a Federal Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp (also $15). That adds up to $70, not $140.
Here's the link to Ohios's license fees:

Yes, I know you could make it a his and hers goose hunt for $140, but I'm not buying that. Being from out of state, he needs two waterfowl stamps, so he didn't buy the $125, or else his total would be $155, not $140.
Thank you very much.
You're right. Hey, he can get rid of some of these #@% Canadian Geese around here...he ought to be good at that...they're a real "nuisance!"
He also needn't have spent $140 in that case. He needs a 3-day Nonresident License and two $15 stamps to do that. The $125 is for big game, and a single $15 stamp isn't good for any out-of-staters. Ohio has an extra one for non-residents on top of the federal stamp:

His finger appears to be BEHIND the trigger!
He only hunts rich widows.
