To shoot ones self in the abdomen…by accident while hunting with a long gun (only legal firearms currently) is ‘quite a strech’.
What was he hunting?
His Johnson?
That is not an accident, that is negligence.
Plain and simple, if you set the gun down or prop it against something, it should be unloaded.
The hunter was young enough that he was required to have taken a hunter safety course prior to getting a Maryland hunting license. Apparently, he was not paying attention.
Good thing we just struck down the safety law! POW!!
Glad “ya’ll” don’t know the difference.
My ancestors should have spit at the British instead of taking up arms, then ‘things’ like you could have lived under the king’s rule and taxation.
You do realize that the “safety law” is still in effect? You do know that the “safety law” would not have prevented this? You do know that the “safety law” is not about safety? Its about taxation. Its about keeping a registry of all legal gun owners.
Even though the law was deemed unconstitutional by the courts, there has been no directive to strike it from being in effect. That wont happen until one of a few things happen. Either MD will not appeal at which time the court will give a directive. MD does appeal and loses, at which time a directive will be given. Or MD does appeal and wins, then nothing happens.
Educate yourself you IQ-of-a-rock-having-goon.
Imagine what he would do to us if he shoots himself for no reason. He just earned the right to bare arms.
Huh? You most definitely have the IQ of a rock. Your comment makes no sense.
That’s because you’re an idiot. School is an excellent starting place.
And again another person with the IQ of a rock. you both need to go back to school. You skipped too much the first time.
I hope the man recover from his injuries.
OAN: This could be a case of “Ain’t no fun when the Rabbit or Buck got the gun”
Yes, we all hope for a full recovery.
One would wonder why this falls under:
“CRIME & COURTS” ?
