Did you catch this little guy in the recent “Dark Knight” batman movie?

I’ve heard he was the stand-in or possibly the stuntman er … stunt dog?

He looks a little confused in this shot if you ask me. Maybe they were going over the scene directions?

Share and Enjoy

Man shoots self while showing how to handle a gun

Some people are visual and learn better when they are shown how to do something. In this case, the student was shown what not to do and I’m sure that she won’t make the same mistake that her boyfriend did!

An Alexandria man is now recovering after accidentally shooting himself. The accident happened as he was showing his girlfriend how to handle a pistol in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant. I guess it’s lucky that he only shot himself in such a public area!

The 21 year old man told police investigators that he forgot that he’d just reloaded his gun and he squeezed the trigger as he put the gun into the drivers door panel. The bullet went through his inner left thigh.

Police said the man repeatedly told investigators he was ex-military and knows how to handle a gun, and was very embarrassed by the incident.

I suppose this is just one of the reasons why the average citizen is not allowed to have a handgun here in Canada. I’m sure it cuts down on stupid accidents among other things.

Blind allowed to hunt in Texas

Did you know that last year the Texas State Legislature passed a bill allowing the blind to hunt? Of course they must bring a sighted companion along and also use a laser guide to aide their shot.

Apparently when using the laser guide all one has to do is point the laser where they think the animal is and there sighted companion can tell them if their shot is lined up. I’m not sure how that’s all that different than just trusting the sighted companions eyes …

I guess as long as it’s not the blind leading the blind …
