    Jeez.. Florida: Girlfriend Mistaken for Hog, Shot

    Hunter thought he'd spied his prey..

    A hunter accidentally shot his girlfriend on Saturday in eastern Florida after he mistook her for a wild hog. Steven Egan, 52, heard a rustling sound in the bushes and took a shot with his .30-caliber rifle. Instead of a hog, though, the bullet hit his girlfriend Lisa Simmons' upper legs. Emergency officials airlifted Simmons to a hospital where she underwent surgery. No charges were filed, and the local authorities are calling it an accident. "He was very sympathetic that he'd shot his girlfriend," said Major Steve Clair of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. "I think it was just a violation of one of the cardinal rules of hunting, which is, you never shoot what you don't see."

    No charges! He should have all his firearms removed. He is clearly an idiot.

    I reckon he'll get what's coming to him when she gets out of the hospital.

    Stupidity. Wonder how drunk he was?
    Didn't know his target? Shot at movement?

    Yeah, he doesn't need to own firearms.

    I think I may have dated her.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    In all fairness, it could have been an honest mistake. After all, we have not seen a picture of her.

    Agree with KCSO! However, the guy is a jerk and doesn't deserve to own a rifle!
