So many things that happen around here are surreal. This is one of them.... Reed went on a Boy Scout Camp last night and Dan went with him. They planned on camping for the night and then on the way home, doing some Air-Soft Shooting. There were 7 boys and 3 adults. One of the boys was in a wheelchair/granny cart thing. Dan said he was a huge brat and threw a few tantrums while they were up camping. When it came time for airsoft...Dan was trying to show the wheelchair boy the safety rules and how to correctly use the gun. The kid had no regard for anything Dan was saying and was pointing the gun everywhere. (Airsoft won't injure...unless shot in the eye or ear...but it will bruise you and does sting when you get shot). The boy continued to be an idiot, pointing the gun in Dan's eyes, and ended up shooting one of the adults in the back. This is where it got crazy.
The adult grabbed the gun and said he would make sure that the boy would remember not to shoot people and said he was going to shoot the kid to "teach him a lesson". The terrified kid was shrieking in fear and tipped his cart over in a scuffle with the adult trying to get the gun. Dan and the 3rd adult then tried to help the kid up. When they got him up, Dan moved away thinking the kid got the hell scared out of him and he wont do that again....then the injured adult shot the kid in the back from close range. The kid then tipped his cart again and slithered out of it. Dan & Reed were in disbelief. Then another kid at the camp was so mad at the adult for shooting the kid that he shot the adult again. The adult became so enraged he litterally threw a tantrum and thew a metal water bottle at the kid....fortunately missing.
Now when Dan was conveying the story to me, I must confess I was laughing my head off. The mental images I conjured in my head were very entertaining. But this man is obviously an idiot. I will never let Reed go on a campout with him again. As for the handicapped kid...he probably got what he deserved

Holy COW! I have no words. Wow, wow, wow! I can't believe that really happened. It is funny, and I'm sure having Dan tell the story was hilarious, but seriously, what adult points a gun at someone??? Maybe when Audra and I come stay over New Years (wink, wink) Dan can tell us this story in person.
