Fun With Guns: Dick Cheney Edition
Y’all, it is semi-probable that Dick Cheney moved to Portland, Oregon, and became the police chief.
Portland Police Chief Larry O’Dea is under state investigation for accidentally shooting a friend in the back during an eastern Oregon hunting trip last month.
O’Dea was on vacation April 21 in Harney County when he fired his .22-caliber rifle, striking a friend once in the lower left side of his back, according to police and Harney County dispatch records.
Left lower side of the back translates into left hiney cheek.
Now, here comes the fun stuff.
Chief O’Dea was with the former head of firearms training at the Police Bureau. So it’s not like there was a overabundance of people who didn’t know what the hell they were doing.
Which might explain why the chief did not acknowledge that he shot his friend until a month after it happened.
Harney County Sheriff’s Lt. Brian Needham said he couldn’t make a police report available because it hasn’t been finalized. He didn’t release further details about what occurred. The investigation is ongoing, he said.
Sooooooo … how drunk was he?
The friend will be okay.
Thanks to Epp for the heads up.
It is fairly safe to say that NOTHING tests a friendship quite like one friend shooting another in the glutieus maximus. We’ll have to see if Larry gets a Christmas card this year, eh?
1I’ve owned .22s all my life (nearly 70 yrs. of it). Back when I was very young we used to take them out in the woods and do what we called “hunting”. It was mostly just wanton of killing small defenseless animals and shooting up tin cans and bottles. I can’t imagine what two supposedly adult police officers were “hunting” with .22s.
2Was the “friend” compelled to go on national TV and apologize for all the trouble he caused?
3The report wasn’t finalized for a month? Apparently this guy shoots fast and writes slow.
4The Second Amendment strikes again.
5His friend might think twice before he cheats with Chief O’Dea’s wife again.
6I would suggest O’Dea consider divorce or joining a swingers group if it does.
A .22, huh? Well, unlike birdshot he will not look like hell despite plastic surgery for the rest of his life. One has to be grateful for small mercies, ya see. One question: is this an elected police chief, and has anyone from the mayor’s office had a chat with him about early retirement.
7(>.<) Makes one wonder why Uday and Qusay those inheritance hunting charmers haven't taken Daddy Donald along for some snacilbupeR sport.
8In Texas an 18 year old shot his 3 year old stepson in the head because he wouldn’t quit bouncing on the bed. Some idjets just shouldn’t be allowed to possess weapons or kids or friends.
9So it’s another shot in the cheek, just lower.
10Drumpf prolly already has mineral rights for lead mining on this guy’s backside.
11On a lighter note, in Harney Co,Oregon some vocal Bundy takeover supporters were trying to get elected and flamed out miserably. Too bad-so sad.
12I’m with oldymoldy here. You can plink a bunch with a Ruger and a brick of .22LRHP but, in texas at least (I’m thinking) there’s no huntable game that can be taken with a round less that caliber .240 and I’m also thinking that has to be centerfire rounds. Somebody more up on hunting details should feel free to correct me. Either way I dont hunt game animals with .22.
13Ummm, no. This is NOT Dick Chaney. This guy is being investigated. Nuff said.
