Lucky to be alive, yes. Lucky not to be paralyzed, sure. But just plain lucky? I don't think so. Man that has to ruin your day!

I saw this a few months ago and I was pretty sure the story was fake.  If you dig around long enough you'll probably find the same image with different stories.

A well placed shot with the proper load would do much more damage. I've taken Hogs down in pieces at 50 yards but if he was shot buy a weak load I guess it could look like that.

It goes to show you when you stop respecting firearms and you get careless with them in can result in real
tragedy.

"This guy and a buddy were sighting their rifles in. One of the guns was leaned up against the 4 wheeler he was standing on. The gun started to fall and I'm not sure if his buddy grabbed it, or something on the bike caught the trigger. Either way, he caught a 325 grain .45-70 round right under the collar bone."

Here is a little tip: Don't ever lean a gun up against anything if it has a round in the chamber and is ready
to fire. If you are not ready to line the firearm up on something and shoot, the firearm should be unloaded with the action open. Anyone with any sense should know that. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy the guy survived, but that was a case of just plain stupid gun handling. The guy that leaned the loaded ready to fire 45-70 up against the 4X4, Had he been drinking or something? Or was he just born stupid? I don't know about you guys, but if I am out shooting at a range and I see someone handling firearms in an unsafe manner I immediately let them know that they are putting other people's lives in danger and it won't be tolerated by me. I've hurt peoples feelings by doing this but I don't care. I'd ratherhurt 100 people's feelings than to have someone needlessly hurt or worse from carelessness and stupidity.
All of this is taught in hunter safety classes.

The other day at work I was talking to one of my buddies about a guy that used to work with us. My bud was real good friends with him and they would go to mississippi hunting. He told me that he had shot somebody with his 45-70. Guess that is the guy. dunno... Small world

Fake. I've seen lots of gunshot wounds in my years as a trooper. It's either a fake photo or something else happened to the guy.

Why is the entrance wound bigger than the exit wound?  Don't look right to me.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
