A Goose Story, Almost

Two guys went geese hunting in Cecil County, Maryland. As they both stood up to shoot at a goose, something wrong happened (the injured guy says the other guy mis-aimed and the other guy claimed an obstruction in his rifle caused the incident). Regardless of the how, a portion of the barrel of the other first guy’s rifle ended up lodged in the skull of the other hunter. The injured hunter was taken to the hospital, and besides the obvious physical injury, he suffered a one day minor memory impairment, but no permanent cognitive injury. So the injured guy sued his hunter buddy and won $120,000.00.

Morale of the story clear in this goose matter:

1. Don’t use guns, and
2. How can you sue your buddy… wasn’t this an accident?
