Thread: Hunter shot in Kaimai Range near Te Aroha

So you shoot and kill or maim someone, of course not on purpose, but you did break one of the seven rules.

And you claim what you saw it was a deer, your gun malfunctioned etc etc and you'll get let off with a rap over your fingers...

But in the courtroom and the personal jury of your own mind, you are found guilty, guilty, guilty, every night you stare at the ceiling and think about "the days before" when you could sleep. There is no lawyer in that court room to defend you against yourself, no talk of confirmation bias... or that it's human to err.

There is no room for complacency. We must both believe it could happen to anyone (even to Ryan Songhurst, God forbid), but we ALSO have to believe as strongly that it IS avoidable.
