Of course guns aren't dangerous. No. It's the people who use them.
I wonder if it was the gun that he was "awarded" by the NRA?
He was hunting quail at the time. That's quail, not Quayle.

Man Cheney shot has heart attack

Harry Whittington is likely to bear the marks for life
The lawyer shot by US Vice-President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident has suffered a minor heart attack, a Texas hospital spokesman has said.
He said Harry Whittington, 78, suffered a heartbeat irregularity caused by a pellet lodged in his heart.
Mr Whittington was moved back into intensive care on Tuesday and will be treated for at least another week.
Dick Cheney accidentally injured his hunting companion while shooting quail on a ranch in Texas on Saturday.
Despite the heart problem, doctors said there were no immediate fears for Mr Whittington's life.
