If you shoot a guy in the heart, I think that makes you a sharpshooter. If you can shoot a guy without killing him, that makes you Dick Cheney!!!

Because he wasn't paying full and complete attention to his surroundings, as a hunter (or anyone discharging a firearm) should.\n\nADDITION (to respond to some other comments): \nI'm not aware of anyone who is seriously suggesting that he shot his friend intentionally.  However, saying it was an accident does not mean that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it.  The NRA's safe hunting rules state: \n\n"Know your target and what is beyond.  Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second."\n\nThis is a rule that was not followed by Cheney. While it was indeed an accident, it was one caused by carelessness on the part of both Cheney and Whittington.

Well... Even though I think this was just posted by another uber-lib trying to take any crack at the administration that they can....\n\nWe know of at least 2 besides this recent accidental "shooting"... Aaron Burr, VP to Jefferson (The famous duel between Burr and Hamilton)... and Teddy Roosevelt (Not during his time as VP, but during his service time in military units)\n\nhard to get information on many of the older VP's on something like this. But we can probably assume more since the times in the earlier parts of US history had more people carrying around weaponry in places like the west. As well as others who may have served during the American Revolution etc....

Dick Cheney is the Elmer Fudd of our generation.

As far as I know, it was Dick Cheney who shot his hunting partner (it WAS an accident) and they were in Texas. He has since had a heart attack because one of the pellets moved into his heart, but the doctors have said he will be ok and they are not going to operate.

I did a totally layman's search of the Internet and found nothing except articles about videos being shot. Maybe your friend only heard part of the story?\n\nI know, no help. But I tried. :)\n\n~Tia~

sure i can, u mean john f kenndy right. i'm learning more bout him and i'm kinda young, well it happened in dallas, they think there was a 2nd guy because the govenor of mayor of dallas was shot too(kennedy and him are in the same car) the cartop was open, first the govenor was shot, then the after like 2 seconds, later he shot kennedy, he couldn't have reloaded that fast, his gun was crapy so yeah that is some of it, they never found out because oswald was later shot himself so the case was closed, if kennedy wasn't killed, we wouldn't have been in the vietnam war. he was a good president, one of the best, peacful unlike bush, some people say it was a conspiray from the government, they said he knew too much

cherriest14 - A few points for you:\n\nFIRST: Just who in the hell did Cheney shoot and kill??? Harry Whittington was accidentally shot by Cheney on a hunting trip. Whittington not only survived the accident but has already been released from the hospital. A far cry from being killed in my book.\n\nAnd you think no one blinked an eye over the incident? The media went after Cheney as if he had driven the last nail on the cross over it. Did you not pay attention to the news the entire two weeks after the incident??\n\nSECONDLY: Clinton's bl0wj0b did not almost get him impeached. Here are the fact:\n\n* Clinton received oral from Monica Lewinsky.\n* Clinton lied under oath about said services\n* Clinton got caught lying and was impeached (impeachment is the process of being charged ... NOT the processed of being removed from office)\n* Clinton WAS impeached, tried and not convicted\n\nI said not convicted intentionally, because he was guilty of the charges - he admitted it and received a censure from Congress and had to withdraw from the bar for five years.\n\nWe conservative are not angry over the bl0wj0b. Hell, if I was President, I'd be hiring new interns on a daily basis. As the chief law enforcement officer of the land, it was unacceptable for Clinton to impede the investigation as much as he did and lie under oath about what happened. You don't think that if someone is questioning the President under oath, they pretty much have him nailed already??\n\nTHIRD: Why don't you do some basic research before you spout off your parroted idealogical bullsh!t. It just makes you look really, really stupid.

What makes you think Cheney did that on accident? I sure don't think it was an accident, I think he really wanted to kill the man for not following orders about Scooter Libby. These people are Nazi's.

Hey, hey, hey, Cheney didn't "cut and run from 'Nam", he got *deferments* which meant he never had to go in the first place.  Get your facts straight! ^_^\n\nFor info on the most egregious chickenhawks, scroll down here and read up on each of them:\nhttp://www.chickenhawkcards.com/\n\nTake note of who is deemed "president" and "puppet"....

My understanding is that it is not illegal to accidentally shoot someone while hunting.  If that is correct, then the answer is never.\n\nAccording to CNN, Cheney has been officially cleared and the shooting was ruled a hunting accident.
