ES, living in an area where hunting is commonplace and it's normal coffee shop discussion, and having spent plenty of hours in the woods while in Tx, the general attitude is that the person who came up to the group without announcing his presence is in the wrong. The VP is in the wrong for letting himself get "target locked" and not paying attention to the area around his target. In other words, there's plenty of blame to share, but the person who was shot bears responsibility in this as well. Sorry, ES, but this is not an impeachable offense.
