Cheny's companion made a mistake by not announcing himself.
But CHency was the guy who pulled the trigger and one of the primary rules of using a firearm is to be aware of your field of fire and be able to identify your target. Cheney made a mistake.
Having said that, it was a stupid, innocent error he'll always have to live with and his primary responsibility was to see to the safety of his friend - which he did. He ahd no responsibility to immediately inform the jackels, vultures and hyaenas in the White House Press Corps.
These anti-huntnig and anti-gun types are true ghouls - always waiting for some tragedy to advance thier perverted, distorted, anti-American disarmament agenda.
I agree with what you say, Zulu. 100% There are folks out there that want to take our guns, our booze, our cigars and cigarettes... But as long as we have our guns, they ain't going to kill all the fun in life!
