Twinkies Save Lives
I mean, come on, if they can save just ONE life...
Well, you can't argue the idiot doesn't need practice.
Accident? Sorry, not buying that - try "gross negligence" or "reckless conduct". And who knows, maybe if the kid wasn't so fat (smaller target), the bullet would have missed him altogether.
LAUREL HILL, Fla. -- A few extra pounds may have saved James "Bubba" Taylor's life. The boy, who turns 9 on Tuesday, avoided serious injury after being struck by a .38-caliber bullet during a target-shooting accident, officials said.
"He's a little chunky," his grandmother, Alice Harper, told the Northwest Florida Daily News for its Tuesday editions. "Thank God."
Taylor was shot Saturday by a neighbor, James Hinshaw, 44, who was practicing marksmanship with the child. The bullet entered Taylor's right side, and traveled through his flesh without striking any organs. [emphasis mine]

Taylor was taken by helicopter to a hospital, where he was treated and released the same day. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office is classifying the incident as an accident.
