- I know little about guns and even less about hunting, but do people
- use shotguns to hunt deer with? Don't you need to be close to
- your target when using a shotgun? Also, isn't it illegal to discharge
- a firearm across a road?
-
- The shooter is at least criminally negligent, and more likely is
- gun toting, crotch scratching, whiskey swilling in-bred hill
- billy who hangs out in the woods looking for 'runner-boys' with
- pretty mouths.
