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.

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've read the story and many others like it. I know he was following the bird and just as he fired the lawyer came into the picture, since the vp wasn't aware of his whereabouts he was hardly at fault for pulling the trigger. From what has been reported it really was an accident.

I realise your position of "defend the presidency at all costs" must be stressful and tiring but you need to relax a little.

And that was funny adidass even if the link is a dud.

You're lack of hunting experience makes it hard for you to analyze the situation, much less show how Cheney did a poor job analyzing the situation.

Cheney was not aware that one member of the party was missing. I don't care what protocols are commonly in place, if you're wandering around with a loaded gun you should know who's actually in the "line" before you start pulling the trigger. A Vice President can, and should, be expect to live up to higher standards and act with greater responsibility than the average person. If he weren't why aren't we sticking Johnny Nobody in the seat of power? This is NOT a hunting issue, this is a position based issue.
