Yesterday it seemed some people thought the accident was the result of
the victim not following hunting protocol. The newspapers and hunting
experts seem to believe it was the shooter who was responsible, even
though the victim had not followed protocol when rejoining the hunting
line.

This really should not be a political discussion, but a safety
discussion that all hunters can learn from. Heck, I know I would prefer
to learn from someone else's mistake, instead of repeating the same one.

Sometime I'll tell you the 'safe' way to put a lot of quail on the dinner
table! It's probably illegal, but it's safe.

When was there time otherwise?

That is not true of quail hunting. Quail don't take off and fly in a
straight line down range. Like Reggie said, when you're getting a bead on
the bird, you're not looking at the ground.


Yeah, right, so you swing around and shoot behind your
position...without checking to see who is there.

Quail hunting is not like your local range. There is no fixed 'position'.

It's impossible to take your commentary on firearms and their use
seriously. You're the one who reported the sidearm the military issued you
was not in good shape and wasn't accurate, and you did nothing about it.

How's that related to his last statement, which was entirely factual?

Oh shoot! Veep had no license for quail hunt
BY KENNETH R. BAZINET
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
Monday, February 13th, 2006

WASHINGTON - Vice President Cheney had no license to kill - quail, that
is.

BFD. Yawn

Jim, do you think that it's okay for people to poach? Or is it just
that you think it's okay for Cheney to poach? Laws are laws. If I were
hunting in Texas without a license and shot someone in the face, I'll
bet I'd get a fine for doing so.

Have you seen any indicators that a police official or some other sworn
officer of that Texas county where the "accident" took place has
interrogated Cheney?

It's not that I don't believe Cheney...but I don't believe Cheney. I'm
sure it was an "accident," but I want to know that even the VP is not
above the law and therefore was or will be questioned by police.

They reported the shooting to the local police, not not the press. You call
the local paper everytime you have an accident?

Yes, if I were the vice president of the United States and I "accidently"
shot someone, I would hold a brief public conference immediately after the
victim was in the hospital, explain what happened, apologize for my
stupidity, and ask everyone to pray for the victim's recovery.

But, then, I don't suffer from the hubris of Bush or Cheney.

In this we agree 100%. It is stupid, arrogant and boorish to do nothing.

Harry doesn't know the first thing about sporting clays. Compare his
