My brother was shot by someone messing around - he even said 'I didn't know it was loaded' - after he'd seen me walk back from setting up the targets, uncover and load - it still makes me go all cold to think about it. Yes it was a small calibre - but it hit him a hand's breadth from the jugular.

Holy crap, Anne. I hope your brother recovered quickly!

Yes, thankfully, he was wearing a leather jacket and luckily the shot went through the collar and the yoke which must have slowed it down - he still has the scar but there wasn't a great amount of damage.

That's some scary stuff right there. Glad he recovered!
