Can you imagine if the gun had been loaded with a varmint bullet? Would have been devistating damage to the foot. I know the shooter probably feels bad. He should. Let's hope he learned and his habits change for the better. I wish your friend a fast recovery.
Thats what im worried about.hope he heals quick, but I cant help but wonder how good a friend the shooter will be when the medical bills come rolling in ?
as of now, I think im more upset about it than he is.Ouch!! At least the bullet went all the way through.
Are they still friends?
thankfully, and also good no bullet fragmenting either. as bad as it is it could have definitely been worse.well.. at least it didn't tumble or expand.. much if any.
I just hope he has to sell all his guns to pay for the medical bills. the world will be a much safer place.So if the guy on the trigger end owns the rifle I vote he gives it to the guy he shot. That's the least he can do. Maybe promise to take some safety and training classes.
Hope your friend has a speedy recovery. After several episodes of the HGTV show Renovation Realities, I have concluded that there are just some people who should not be allowed to either rent or purchase power tools. Sadly, despite my beliefs regarding the second amendment, after reading stories like this, I am beginning to come around to the view that there are also some people who should not be allowed to have guns.
