BIRDING WITH A 28 GAUGE SHOTGUN

Not a great idea. The shot pattern is wrong.

I saw a video in which, with the same gun model and ammo, they tried to hit things at 90 feet - the distance the VP was supposed to be from his companion. Nope. Too far away. Too much spread. Cut to the chase - to do what was done to the poor man, he'd be shot from about 15-18 feet.

Was the Veep loaded? Is that why the police were kept away?

And the reported timeline is oddly out of sync. Look it up.

There are many unanswered questions on this one, and my sense is the press isn't going to let up. This isn't conspiracy theory stuff - this is a very poorly handled accident BY PEOPLE WHOSE PROFESSION IS HANDLING THINGS.
