    Damn that old bugger is lucky it wasn't a more serious injury. As you say Happy what happened to checking the firing zone.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That's a shitty bit of luck. Wonder if he was able to wipe up before hopping in the ambulance.

    Sounds like the guy shouldn't have been hunting anyway, being within such close proximity to dwellings.
