RE: Cheney
Hunting is a lot like driving. we allmake mistakes! I do it andeveryonethat hunts make safety mistakes. For most of us we make the mistake and no one realizes it. Maybe you are walking and find yourself not paying attention and your gun is pointed in an unsafe direction so you correct it. Hunter safety says you unload your gun before you cross a fence or creek...I don't. Sometimes we take shots we shouldn't but no one gets hurt. And once in a while we make a mistake and someone does get hurt.
In an ideal world mistakes and the accidents that follow wouldn't happen. Saying it was negligent sounds to me like he took a shot he new could have cause this guy injury but took it anyway and it resulted in the man being injured. As far as I can tell he took the shot and then realized the man was standing there.
Hands down he made a mistake but to chastise him for that isn’t right. He has admitted his mistake and the media needs to turn attention back to the news stories that really mater!
