Usenet Newsgroups Re: OK Experts - Can a .22 LR travel 1.3 miles From: grey_ghost471-newsgroups@yahoo.com (Gray Ghost) How do you know it's a .22 or what kind of a .22. The bullet is still in his chest or back according to which story you read. I would certainly question if  a 40 grain LR would have enough energy left to do much damage, let alone penetrate through clothes, and several inches of flesh. Of ocurse "And while the police investigation concluded that the bullet was on a downward trajectory when it struck, "there is no actual evidence that would support the fact that the bullet was fired from the range," Rowlett police spokesman John Ellison said Thursday." I also think absent the actual bullet he should have a very difficult time in court. And even still, unless they can match it to a specific gun... And $200,000 in medical bills? And the bullet is still in? And 10 days in the hospital? I had a triple bypass on a Wednesday and went home on Saturday. And whining about the costs? What no insurance? I think this mutt is an anti looking for a payday. -- "Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense.
