I can't believe the number of people on this thread who seem to suggest that shooting a fellow hunter is "normal." I've been hunting with friends and family for well nigh 20 years now, and no one has ever been accidently shot.

Bottom line: Cheney was careless.

Bottom line is that his was a hunting accident where nobody was seriously hurt. Like all accidents, it would have been better if this didn't happen, and it could have been much worse too but accidents happen.

It's a slow news day when this takes up so much airtime.

A talking point is a talking point.

"People get sprayed sometimes while hunting." "Whittington shouldn't have walked up behind them" - an aside: from which direction should one approach then? "They were equally at fault."

Not exactly what you'll hear in your firearms safety course. But why bother with reality when there is spinning to be done?
