Thread Name: BS: Guns and hunting
Subject: RE: Guns and hunting
I read this in the paper two years ago, and will never get it out of my mind. A father was hunting with his teenage son. The son took a shot at what he thought was a deer, but when he approached his prey, he found his father, in a pool of blood, shot in the head. The son was so distraught at what he had done, he shot himself in the head and died beside his father. But unbeknownst to the son, the father wasn't dead--he had been knocked unconscious, but it was a superficial head wound. The father regained consciousness to find his boy had committed suicide.

I agree with you, Little John. It isn't worth it!
