I think a lot of you guys need to get off your high horses, until you experience something similar you may not realise that this can happen to anybody. In my case my friend still sees the "deer" and I believe him. We all still "see" and remember a lot of things.
You can follow the seven rules, yet incorrectly i.d your target.
If this guy is deemed to be fit and proper again, there is no reason why he cant have his FAL. Whether or not he is fit and proper is not up to me to decide. I don't know the guy.
I can guarantee that experiencing the accidental shooting of a mate, really drives home just important those seven rules are, and would also argue that it indeed made me a much more safety conscious member of the community. Realising just how fragile life is really changes your perspective.
I just don't know if this Dummer guy has learnt anything by the sound of it
My thoughts go out to anyone who has lost family, a friend or someone they love in tragic circumstances.
Like scribe said, I would rather hunt with someone who thinks they could kill someone, than someone who thinks it will never happen to them.
