know what you are shooting?

[jl1966]

I think the fact that Cheney shot someone has been lost here in all the media bashing. I refuse to take up for anyone who does that. Suppose instead of a .28 Ga. he had been shooting a 12 with OO buck or a rifle? We would be talking about a death here. I believe target identification is one of the main rules of safe gunhandling. No matter your politics, it is inexcusable to pull the trigger on something you do not know what it is.
