Your sentence on the "there were 3 guys here, now there's 2" shows me you've never been hunting. You really lose focus on outside things.

You're supposed to be in line with everyone else, and not move from that line. The elderly man went to go grab a quail he had shot. That is probably the single worst idea you can do while hunting, unless you bring the other men with you.

Well yeah, there's kinda a few obstacles to hunting in this country.

So let me put this in perspective... in one thread you have so-and-so doesn't know anything about winter sports. And in this thread, it's so-and-so doesn't know anything about hunting...

Ok, I have decided....STAY AWAY FROM GUNS AND SNOW.

I figured as much, but therefore it's hard to call someone an idiot for doing something which you've never done. Besides stapling your nuts to a table and such.

Hunting is quite common in the US, especially where Cheney is from. From reading the article and having experience hunting, I guess it doesn't seem like much to me.

If I had never gone hunting, and see an article titled "Cheney shoots man" i'd get the same impression. But I've tried explaining it, and people seem stuck on original opinions, no matter how clueless those are.

I don't claim to have been hunting. But logic dictates that if you're going hunting you should be more mindful of your surroundings. Sure it's "only pellets" but the guy was still hospitalised.

I do not care how caught up you get when you're hunting. If it were any other person I'd think "well it's just more reasons to not allow people to wander about with loaded guns" and not make an issue of it. I don't care that some corporate bigwig got himself splayed with pellets. I care that a man who is in such a high position within arguably the biggest single superpower and NOBODY is bothered that he's putting himself in positions where this can happen.

Not to mention that it's more than slightly concerning that you're absolutely fine with people partaking in a sport where it's common place for people to accidentally shoot each other. It's ok, he was only hospitalised.

The VP goes driving sometimes, putting him at the risk of running someone over. While the chances of that are low, so are the chances of shooting someone while hunting.

I'm fine with people partaking in any sport they choose, as risk of injuring yourself or someone else is involved in just about every sport. If you compared injuries per year hunting with basketball, football, american football, and almost any other sport I would bet that injuries are the same if not lower.

This whole incident shows absolutely nothing on Cheney's ability to do his job. And mainly that is what I'm concerned with, his ability to do his job.
