Simply another example of those who think emotionally verses adults who use logical thought. He fired blindly because he did what any emotional persons does. Feel he knows something. Then convert that feeling into fact. Then just know it must be a coyote. Because his emotions routinely become truth. This was discussed before. And it will be dicussed again. Because adults who still think like children are too numerous.

The only question is how to separate childish adults from guns. How do we measure such people to identify them?

Living in this part of the world for the last 40 years I have never seen a coyote, they are very rare here, I would have assumed stray dog before coyote.

Guns don't kill people, ignorant rednecks with guns kll people.

No, guns do kill people... not the government, not rednecks, not idiots.
People just pull the trigger.

Children die because police officers do leave their loaded guns on the bedside table,
People die because hunters do fire their guns without identifying the target.
Remove the "gun" from each of the above and those people would not be dead or injured.

Ask Australia what happened when guns, not people, were removed from that country.

Not much has happened at all. People still die from gunshot wounds. Not sure what you wanted an Aussie to say here lamp.

By that logic, guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.

It's the blood loss that kills people.

That'll be about the only place in America where coyotes would be rare. They are everywhere.

Perhaps you just don't see them.

You know how I love making sweeping generalizations - everyone I ever met from Indiana was a complete nutcase. From UFO's in the backyard to Papist conspiracies to Satan planting dinosaur bones in the ground to confound the faithful, to laetril being God's own natural and pure cure for cancer that government is keeping under wraps because (and I quote) "they make too much money off a' cancer for them to want to really cure it;" from husbands murdering wives and "she's shouldna' left him alone," to the denial of evolution said with a hearty laugh, "They want me to think I'm a monkey's uncle!!" to a strong belief in an Amish "doctor" who diagnoses you by looking into your eyes and a vigorous KKK - that's what I know of Indiana folk.

This guy belongs in prison. But I doubt he will see a single day behind bars.

Wen I was a teen in Maine, there was a little girl shot in her backyard by a hunter who thought she was a deer because she had the audacity to wear white mittens while playing in her back yard. Did I mention she was in her own back yard? The hunter was sorry and promised never to do it again. Didn't go to prison. And the little girl died in her back yard.

Edit. I looked it up. It wasn't a little girl. It was a lady with little girls.

The guy should at least be prohibited from ever touching a gun again.

I remember that event. If you were a teen then you must be very young... like 30 or 40.


The laws about accidental shooting vary from state to state. You can be charged with manslaughter or more in NY. My hunting mentor gave me a copy of Outdoor News or something like that that had an article about hunting fatalities this year in NY. The #1 cause of death is people falling out of tree stands. accounts for something close to half of all hunting accident deaths. I would suspect that 99% of all deaths are due to knuckleheadism, of which falling from a tree stand is a subset. That last one percent might cover legitimate accidents despite proper precautions.

Clearly we need to bring back Phrenology.
