Seems like Whitnack was as upset about Truitt putting seven rounds in an Elk's head as he was about the made-up stories of his military record.

When you listen to his account of it, you can tell he was steamed about that...

Brings up another issue maybe... just because someone was in the military doesn't mean they know hunting etiquette. I'm sure I could find a post titled "M4 for Elk ?"

Besides checking DD214s, these organizations who are trying to do nice things for vets might start doing a criminal background check and also see if the candidate has taken a hunter safety course?

Doesn't matter what you use, it just takes a whole clip.

A few years ago I donated money to a gun club in PA for 2 target rifles. You sound as if you expected me to drive up there and make sure the adults were properly supervising the high school students on the team who were using the rifles. That's nuts.

I am not so sure it is nuts. I very rarely lend a gun to someone but when I do I either take extraordinary measures to ensure it will be used safely or it is someone I already know in this regard and trust implicitly.

Let us not forget that Amy Bishop went on her spree with a borrowed gun. By all accounts she was screwy for years leading up to the episode.

"I am not so sure it is nuts."

You worry too much.

And it's a mag, not a clip.

Here's the thread at rimfirecentral; these guys raised the funds and built an indoor range for high school rifle teams. Talk about taking matters into your own hands. Hell yes I trusted them when I offered to buy two rifles for them.

They were still building when the pics in post #132 were posted.
