Debate the issue. Personal attacks will result in deleted and edited posts. Further attacks may lead to a ban. I am trying hard not to lock this thread.

RE: the truth about Casey Burns
hillbilly: I ate hog either way! Point is once you pull that trigger not you, Mr. wetzel, nor I can be 100% certain where that bullet will end up.
In Mr. wetzel's case it traveled 6/10th of a mile thru an orchard to hit a car window then Ms. Burns.
That is an accident, to try an profit from an accident is morally wrong. Does Mr. Wetzel feel bad, I do not know for sure but imagine so. Is he paying for Ms. Burns' medical bills ? Yes he is.

RE: the truth about Casey Burns
Bwana: you never shot anyone that you know of...neither did Mr. Wetzel. it was only after two days that the Pa State Police asked anyone in whom had shot a gun in the area to come forth and have their gun ballistic tested to see if it matched the bullet recovered from Ms. Burns. Several shooters volunteered their rifles for testing. it was only after testing thru ballistics the slug was proven to come from Mr. Wetzel's rifle. ** an interesting point to be made here is that had Mr. Wetzel NOT come forth in all likelyhood no one would have ever known who fired this shot.
If this isn't a accidental case with someone trying to get rich off it nothing is! Was Casey Burns hurt..yes! Did Mr. Wetzel fire that shot...yes! Was it an accident as proven in court....yes! should it ruin Mr. Wetzel (because Burns will surely seek damages over and above his insurance cap)....NO! Should Ms. burns and family being using this accident to feed a liberal press hungry for anti gun/hunting articles........NO!

Why did I know that BT would cop out and not answer my question?
As for the level ground arguement, on perfectly flat leve ground, most every deer caliber would hit the dirt 300 yards behind a deer size target. way closer on a fox. This shot had to be a horizon situtaion and a stand of trees simply is not a good enough backstop in this situation.
