    Maybe he was shooting a turkey. Maybe he knew the guy. I’m waiting for the Cheney joke from Rosie. It should be forthcoming. Wonder who counted the pellets and why?

    Anytime to pick up a gun and voluntarily enter the woods with a bunch of other hunters you are assuming the risk of getting shot. The plaintiff was probably crouching in the bushes with a turkey call when he was shot. Dumb move. Anyone who was wearing the recommended bright orange vest and hat wouldn’t be mistaken for a turkey. Anyone who doesn’t wear that gear IS a turkey.

    p.s. the collapsed lung isn’t that bad; it’s the chest tube that hurts like hell.
