IRONY CAN BE PRETTY IRONIC Colorado man who laughed Monday when he first read Vice President Dick Cheney had shot a hunting companion was himself injured just hours later when he was accidentally blasted by his girlfriend in his own hunting mishap.
"I read that thing about the vice president and said to myself 'How can you shoot your friend with your gun?' And look what happened," said Josh Kayser of Lafayette, Colo.
According to the Longmont Daily Times-Call, the 21-year-old man was on the trail of raccoons that had been preying on chickens on his family's property.
As Kayser crouched down to look under a shed, his 17-year-old girlfriend, whose name was not released by authorities, crouched down behind him and accidentally shot him with a .22-caliber rifle.
The bullet reportedly entered behind his right ear, exited through his chin and ended up lodging in his left forearm.
Doctors chose not to remove the bullet, lest they cause nerve damage.
"I feel fine," Kayser told the paper. "It feels like a cigarette burn."
Kayser was discharged from Avista Adventist Hospital after spending the night, and police decided against filing any charges against his girlfriend.

Now letting your 17 year old girlfriend get behind you with a loaded gun is jusy plain stupid!
Yeah! First, make sure she is of age...
And the Cheney casualties pile up.
If the guys is crouched down and the shooter is crouched down - HOW does bullet enter behind his ear and travel DOWN to his arm? Sounds like she was standing up behind him and missed the back of his head.
No, of course not. What it's really like is when you're dancing nekkid on the roof of your car during Burning Man, listening to Gay reggae and swilling a 40-oz. Colt 45 and your girlfriend opens the hood and you slip and your butt hits the hot engine block.
Oh, come on, don't tell me it never happened to you...
With apologies to past, present, and/or future girlfriends, this would just never happen in my culture.
Girlfriends go along on the pre-scout, the scout, the remembrance trip, etc.
But never on the hunt.
It's the Code of the West.
How's that song go?
"Never laugh when a hearse goes by.."?
ok. Did the bullet go through his friggin head, or into his neck and out the bottom of his chin? Either way he is very lucky. Yeesh...
I'm thinking she read the story about Cheney and said, "hey if the vp can do it so can I" ;-)
"Women who shoot men and the men who love them" Next on Jerry Springer.........
Why are we just hearing about this now? From a source other than the Whitehouse press corpse?(not mispelled accidently)
You're not going to believe this...
"17 year old with 21 year old, and no questions asked?"
Why should there be. The age of full consent is 17 in Colorado. Plus they have age difference laws for 15 and 16. Stop acting like a proud member of a police state. Hopefully they are not having sexual contact outside of marriage anyways. But if they are then it is no more a crime than if she were 21 too. For all you know his relationship with her will prevent her from becoming a bad member of society. Don't be so quick to judge such things.
Too funny...
They can even be great pets. Isn't this guy just adorable?
lol!!!!
Our hunt club get's together once a month and cap a few dozen of these rodents. We use them for chum, fishing for small coastal shark.
This tard had to connect his bs to Cheney. Everybody needs to get a damn headline.
