And this guy has access to other weapons, large ones like nukes? If that
isn't a scary thought.

What a careless idiot.

Capt. Jeff

Indeed. Here (upstate NY), there are about a dozen accidental shootings by
hunters each year. The star of the show back in November was a guy who shot
himself in the knee with a 12 guage while loading his deer into the back of
his truck. Read the DEC's safety recommendations and it's clear the idiot
broke at least 3 of them. Don't climb or do other clumsy things while
carrying a loaded gun, for instance.

Hell...it sounds like my kid is safer with guns than Cheney and his pals.

Speaking of nukes, I'm reading a book called "Veil: Secret Wars of the CIA".
It's focused on the beginning of Reagan's first term, and William Casey's
experiences as CIA director. Interesting tidbit: When Reagan was shot, his
clothing and wallet were taken by the FBI as evidence. Against objections by
Reagan's staff & secret service, the FBI also took the card presidents
carry, containing the codes they'd need to use if they had to launch
missiles from a location other than a gov't facility. The card was out of
his control for "quite some time", as the book described. Scary.

Reading the story will reveal that the shoot-ee was at fault, going
within the firing range in tall grass and not warning anyone that he
had moved. It was not Cheney's fault. But that doesn't matter, does it?!

Of course it doesn't matter. Once you're a big-time pol or movie star, you
agree to get hit in the face with pies constantly. Everybody knows that.

On the other hand, shooters, whether hunters or target, are responsible for
knowing what's down range.
