Shot Intended For Hurt Cow Hits Renfroe Ala. Firefighter - Firehouse

 

[airwrench]

It appears a volunteer firefighter in Alabama needs additional firearms training.

Understatement of the day..

Definitely target practice and training of background of intended target. Luckily no one was killed.

Not to downplay the seriousness but......I have to ask...

They said it hit him in the lower leg...was it in the calf?

Was it a small cowliber handgun?

Was the car involved a Taurus?

The fireman's accusation that the cow was charging, sounds like udder nonsense......since all the cows I know, generally prefer to deal in cash.

Not so good!

I knew someone would be slinging bull about this story.

Well, now, I really don't see much in the way of bovine fertilizer around here. The cattle I was raised with always preferred dealing in green (grass) and seldom charged anything. And one does wonder if the firearm used was, perchance, a Raging Bull.

Uh yep, little more training required!

 

[troutkiller]

Holy cow! Too much drama!!

Hmm, It sounds like an unauthorized BBQ is in the works. I wonder if any of those volunteer firemen are butchers in real life.
