rasmack 0 #30 February 13, 2006 It suddenly struck me that there are numerous gun/flask analogies: What good is a flask if you do not keep it filled? If you pull out a flask, be prepared to empty it. Best to carry your flask concealed when out in public. And finally: A drunk society is a pleasant society.

steve1 5 #36 February 13, 2006 I'll bet the press is having a field day with this. It brings up the question about how badly shot up this guy really is. He may have only been hit with a BB or two and the press is making it sound like his guts were hanging out or something. It's no wonder this happens every year. I love to hunt but I don't care for the way some people do it. I've got a friend I've hunted with since I was a kid. He's also very rich. He had another very rich friend from Washington come out pheasant hunting a couple years ago. I live in a Podunk town in Eastern Montana. At any rate this super rich guy landed his Lear Jet in Western Montana and picked up my pal and son in Western Montana. They then zoomed over to my area and had a tough time landing because the run way was so short. The aircraft was stuffed full of out-of-staters and expensive shotguns. The plan was to hunt all the coolies shooting as many birds as possible there. The escaping birds would all fly down to a big patch of brush down below. Then the plan was to surround the brush pile below from all sides. This worked great until the final shootout, down below the coolies. I mean shotguns were booming and BB's were flying every which way. I decided to back the hell out of there before something bad happened. I also decided not to hunt with them the next day. I can sure see how a person might end up being shot up, if he hunts with the wrong herd of hunters. Particularly a bunch of politicians who often have more money than brains...Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should be made to practice this 'tactic' in a small bar with darts to make the point. These are not gun people. How big was the circle? apparently smaller than the shotguns' ranges? ...

lawrocket 3 #38 February 13, 2006 QuoteIs there a bag limit on lawyers? Not for me. 10 bags over my face could not hide my ugliness. Of course, I am occasionally deserving of a 5.,56 between the eyes. But Sen. Blutarsky and chuckbrown actually provide a beneficial public service, and should be granted repreives.

Andy9o8 2 #47 February 13, 2006 Apparently the wounded man is doing OK. What yuks me up is that when our boy Dick, who "had other priorities" rather than military service in the 60's, finally gets the chance to shoot someone, he can't even do that right.

The gun should have had a label on it warning the user not to shoot people. A clear case of product liability if I ever saw one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I don't think this was all entirely planned, but that was how it worked out. Everyone was well within range of each other and anxious to pull the trigger on another bird. Most of the pheasants flew up above everyone's head which were safer to shoot at, but there was the occaisional shot between hunters on a low flying bird....All this was way too crazy for me. I was smart enough to back out of there. Luckily noone got a face full of shot. I hate hunting with large groups of people....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
