Does this give you a reason to like Cheney?

Yes, I do know that. I may be a fag, but I know what a shooting range is and the rules involved. I have also shot shotguns before. Several, in fact. We own one. I have shot handguns and an elephant gun that nearly took my entire arm off.
I prefer a .45 to a .38. That's my gun of choice if I were to ever own a handgun. Ralphie's father wants to buy me one really badly but Ralphie and his mom are against the idea. Oh well.
My dad was a police officer for 33 years or so. He taught me how. I also learned about shooting rifles in the Boy Scouts. I was the best shot in my troop. I won 5 dollars in a contest. The other scouts were peeved to have lost to a Tenderfoot. Ha ha.
See, you learn new stuff everyday.



Anyway, all I'm asking is does the media say a man stormed a 7-11 and peppered the cashier with his shotgun? I think not.

I do. He represents us. He's the second most powerful man in our country. Everything he does is important. The reporting should not have taken 24 hours.

I couldn't disagree more. I don't give a rat's ass about his, or any politician's, private life. Again, I understand that if we find out, it's noteworthy, but beyond that, I don't care.

Scrooge and GC - I am not questioning your knowledge of firearms or hunting, in terms of saying that you don't know what you are talking about. i am just curious as to what your knowledge is.

I go dove hunting with my father and brother in laws a few times a year. Been on elk hunts and javelina hunts, though only as a spotter, not a hunter.

I'm not upset with anyone. I just really, truly, honestly, do not see what the big deal is in a 24 hour delay of release of this info to the press.

Is anyone going to touch that line? It's a gimme!

So you think Clinton should have held a news conference every time Lewinski checked the executive oil?

What a politician does privately with someone that is not against the law, no.
When a politician shoots someone and that person is sent to intensive care because of gunshot wounds, most definitely yes. Against the law, no. He was cleared. But it is of great interest to me.

Again, I understand why it's news. But I also understand that his FIRST priority is to appologize to the family, not me. Crap, he shot his friend! Would you immediately run to the phone to call you employer, or would you take a day to make sure your friend is okay and collect yourself because you freakin' accidentally shot your friend.

Sorry, but this has been getting under my skin. I'm as much of a critic of the administration as anyone, but harping on this kind of non-story is bordering (perhaps already across the border mowing lawns) on petty.
