I wasn't being sarcastic. Was I supposed to be? I take gun handling very seriously and I'd like to know what happened.
My thoughts, too.
I posted early in the thread, long before there was news on how minor the injuries were.
Gotta a couple notes from folks who didn't understand why I didn't find the shooting funny.
Oh, well.
To: RebelTex
According to ABC radio news this morning, Cheney shot his lawyer friend with "buckshot".
28 ga. buckshot.
I've never seen that load available over the counter.

It means you might not have a sense of humor.
Well, it wasn't very funny at the point I came in on the thread.
Here is the entire, orignal post I saw:
"The other forumn is reporting that ap is reporting that Cheney shot some one by accident on a hunting trip?
They say they have a ap source"
Speculative posts followed, including post 2 in which the poster heard that Cheney himself was shot.
Check the thread's history.
It was updated twice since my first post.

I hear you, Mary.
By the way, it's cool, and I love your name, Mary -- my darling wife's name also ........ 33 years of wedded bliss.
;-)
There is something perfectly lyrical and pure to me about that name.

They are already in a feeding frenzy that Cheney's people tried to cover this up.

They are already in a feeding frenzy that Cheney's people tried to cover this up. In politics, that's always the primal, knee-jerk reaction.
Bottom line: no excuse, Cheney was careless with his shot.
Thank goodness the injuries were minor.

And before anybody jumps on me, I've been a hunter all my life. I have a cardinal rule that I don't hunt with people who are unsafe, and right now I'd have serious doubts about whether I'd want to be in a hunting party with some of these people. Flame away.I started hunting when I was ten years old (don't hunt any more, but not because I think hunting is wrong).
And my dad made it absolutely clear that I was to only shoot when I knew I wouldn't be hitting something accidentally. You need always be aware of where everyone in your party is and where any nearby roads or buildings are - especially with quail which stay low to the ground.
I thinks this does not speak well of Cheney or Whittington that they are just jumping out of a car and shooting willy-nilly at quail without observing any kind of caution. And I think it was also wrong that it was not reported sooner.
So now we'll both get flamed by those who just defend Bush or Cheney without thinking through the entire story.

That's why I was surprised to see that Cheney violated this basic rule.Yeah, this does not speak well of him. And I am not willing to see this spun away. It shows a certain lack of self-control and that's not good at all.

Yeah....Cheney shot a lawyer ...the problem is what? The problem is that it shows he doesn't have the discipline to hunt in a safe manner. They just jump out of a car and go off in whatever direction after two coveys of quail with no regard for where the rest of their party is.
And don't blame Whittington - in the end, the shooter is responsible for making sure he is firing in a safe manner. Cheney failed to do that.

Big time whoops!Yeah, I think this is a pretty serious incident. The guy could have been killed because Cheney was more concerned about bagging a quail than about hunter safety.
