Rick, I was surprised this morning to see this thread was still alive and in view of what was just posted, I thought your response was very appropriate.
What some of the more sanctimonious posters fail to acknowledge, is that all of us have been involved either on the causing or receiving end of an accident and have learned how to make sure the situation never repeats itself again.

Re: 255 pounder speared for SBO.

Rick you ready to get some storm fish? Hopefully this little wave next week will push them right up in our yard. I knew when this was first posted the safety police would have a hay day telling everyone how they do it. F the way the internet police do it!
I get pissed off when someone points a unloaded gun at me. Even for a second. But we preload before every drop, and on rare occassion we even surface after missing awreck in current and come back to the boat for a redrop, loaded. Done correctly it's a zero factor.
Those who are afraid of guns should probably not own a gun!

Nice attempt at a weak straw man retort complete with an ad hominen attack...Whatever......your justification of this incident goes to show your disrespect for weapons be it guns or spear guns. But keep posting your antics, the rest of us get a kick out of your potentially fatal goofiness and peter pan justified logic.

I guess some people are so stupid they must learn and relearn century old lessons....like pointing weapons at each other without intending to shoot, oh well, like I said, I find it hilarious...thank god I dont have to dive with clowns like you....

Your comments demonstrate an apparent inability to read. Rick never attempted to justify the incident; hell we can barely explain how it happened.

It was a weird and stupid accident and I posted it so that other people might learn from a negative example.


If you actually find the mishap hillarious, then your really are a little queer, I think.

Come on scott...you can do better than that?............I think a few smart ass comments were more than justified here....after all, somebody DID get shot from stupidity.
Grow a pair will ya, if you do something STUPID and you POST it here, not everyone is going to give you a "hug and tell you its alright"....

The pics and photo shopping were HILARIOUS....I wish I knew how to do that........

Re: 255 pounder speared for SBO.

I don't want to be an Internet Nazi, but both parties made a mistake. Why would you think the gun wasn't loaded?
Now, if someone points a gun beit a gun, riffle, speargun etc., that last thing you would have to worry about is that shark.

Re: 255 pounder speared for SBO.

I think everyone who has read this thread understands that pointing a gun at someone is a mistake. I think that everyone understands what to do to prevent this from happening. Its a dead horse that no longer needs beating. They shared the story to prevent further accidents from happening they were arming us with knowledge. No ones perfect and when the fecal matter makes contact with rotary device sometimes you stray from normal practices.
