Whoa, whoa, whoa there bright boy, youve been arguring all along that shooting at anything with out a proper back stop is parmount to blazing away in a crowded shopping mall. So as long as the person is within 300 yards of the shooter its ok? You need to get a grip, I did take notice that you never did answer the question. Im gathering that since you didnt responsed, that youve shot at deer on level ground, and could very well have shot someone behind the deer.

None of us knows all the facts. we weren't there. Lets look at what we do know. The bullet was intact and was not a ricochet. We also know it was not an unintentional discharge. The victim was in the line of fire. The distance and the bullet drop over that distance indicate that the shot had to be at an uphill angle. Otherwise it woukld have been in the dirt long before it got to the victim. Maybe it was a horizon shot as someone stated here, maybe not. Anyone shooting up a hill has to be concerned that the bullet could travel beyond the horizon. One poster here has said many times that this area is highly populated and should be shotgun only. The hunter should have been extra careful with this type of shot in a highly populated area. the bottom line is, this lady got shot and we know what gun the bullet came from. He was therefore at least somewhat negligent and at worst grossly negligent. I dont think any one here believes it was intentional.


Disparging the victim with statements about her personal life that have no bearing on what happened is a tactic generally resorted to when someone needs to distract everyone from the real issue. Cheap shots arent going to take away the fact that this guy shot her and bears some responsibilty.

No D.E. they just live in the real world, where no one in their right mind takes a shot when knows that there something or someone in the background. The hunter couldnt see the house and from all reports it was a freak thing, especially after knowing the distance and how far that bullet had to fall in order to hit burns. Unfortunetly this stuff happens from time to time and nothing short of outlawing hunting will ever stop it.

You didnt answer my question which was asked first and directed to anyone argueing on this hunters behalf. Why should I answer your question when you feel no need to answer mine?
I'm not sure who your question was originally directed at anyway.

Which question was that?

This one

First of all Im not arguing on his behalf, Im saying that this kinda crap happens. And second yes I would as a matter of fact. Most of the places I have permission to hunt, I know these people and they know that sh!t happens.

Now you going to answer mine?

I can pee futhure than you can
I can pee futhure the youUUUUUUU
I can pee futhure than you can
I can pee futhure than youUUUUUUU


The fact remains she is trying to profit from an accident, if she wasn't there would be no suit. That alone speaks volumes as to what type of person Ms. Burns and those whom support her are!

you're exactly right--maybe you should teach an online safety class to many here---a preponderance of ignorance doesn't outweigh a grain of common sense--unfortunately, it seems common sense is not that common

hillbilly please explain to us ignorant folks just how you can be ABSOLUTELY SURE where that bullets is going to end up after it leaves your gun.
I once was standing in my barnyard shooting a hog not 5 ft away with a 22 LR. At the shot a window broke in a shed 25 yds away and the pig was dead as heck. Bullet went in his skull and glanced off came out and hit the window. Under your theroy i was intent on breaking that window.
