If I may repeat myself - its about having respect for the gun. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> We are so awash with swashbuckling gun totin heros that we forget something - we're not supposed to kill. Now I'm not making a value judgement or anything, kids these days are not taught about gun safety and about what it means to kill - it means ya gotta eat it, and if yer lucky ya get to cook it first. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Seeing something dead after pulling a trigger is a sobering experience, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> but like all experiences - Ya don't learn about it from reading, you have to experience it. I'm sure it never occurred to the hunter to stop and make real sure before being trigger happy.

I mean its a tragedy for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure there wil be legal repurcussions for a while. In California if you inadvertently kill someone without intent its still manslaughter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Up here shootin a gun in an inhabtited area is pretty much a no no. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

and no I don't wear dayglo orange on August 2nd. BUT it does say a lot about wearing bright colored camping gear instead of trying to blend in. funny but almost all of my old jackets nd pants are flame red. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
