Man Shot In Accident After Laughing At Cheney
(AP) LAFAYETTE, Colo. Hours after laughing about Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting mishap, Josh Kayser was himself shot by a friend during a hunting expedition.
The 21-year-old Lafayette man was taken to the hospital Monday night after his girlfriend accidentally shot him while they were trailing a raccoon that had been preying on chickens on his family's property.
"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," he said Tuesday.
Kayser was crouched down to look under a shed where he thought a wounded raccoon was hiding, and his 17-year-old girlfriend accidentally shot him with a .22-caliber rifle. Police have not identified the girlfriend.

This looks better.
LOL!!
Hmm... could have been 0.22 magnum. 0.22LR might not suffice for a full-grown raccoon. But then again, they describe a "wounded raccoon", so it might have been 0.22LR.
I am a faithful and devoted husband.
My wife has a Mossberg 500.
'nuff said!
Behind the right ear, out under the chin and into the forearm. Lucky guy.
Exactly...the big question is, WHAT DID BUSH KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT???
For some reason this sign in reply # 39 made me think of you.
>>0.22LR might not suffice for a full-grown raccoon<<
I've probably shot 25 racoons with a .22. If they weren't dead, they were better at playing possum then possums.

Did you come across some kind of population adjustment? For example, 836 boating deaths per 1 million boaters? 92 hunting deaths per 1 million hunters? Something to make the statistics meaningful?
Thanks for posting the article.
Statistically, skydiving is safer than driving...
Then you are a pretty good shot (congratulations) or the target raccoons were sitting still.
21 AND 17?????
mmmm......not necessarily!
Add another "Never". And end it it with "Ever".
There. That's better.
When VP Cheney is with close friends, like Chuck Norris, neither uses a gun.
They just point their finger and say `Bang'. And the quail falls down.
