Hunters don't deserve the bad rap from Portland Police chief's incident [View all]

The anti-hunting community could not have planned a more explosive public-relations windfall than the serendipitous event just handed to them from Eastern Oregon by the police chief of a major American city.

Maxine Bernstein's comprehensive reporting of Portland Police Chief Larry O'Dea's accidental shooting of a friend sets the scene: A group of 50s-something guys sitting in a row of lawn chairs, drinking beer while shooting defenseless small animals with rifles, one of which, after repeated jamming issues, is laid down so its owner can pop another brew. While picking it back up, he manages to accidentally discharge the rifle and hits a friend in the lower back; then manages to cover it up for a month.

PETA on a platter.
