    Make sure the cops complete a report and ammend your story to someone else shot you. G & S reason.

    Mandated to report this.

    The report is taken by police officers on behalf of Animal Management/Control to track, treat and eradicate rabies; cops are more available than animal wardens.

    dont know who called who.. was just surprised to hear a voicemail while waiting in miami airport to fly back to bwi.. wife dealt with it.. its all good now. we still have the cat and the person who the cat bit is still alive. :)

    They just need to make sure the animal can be observed. If the animal has had it's rabies shot, it is all the better. There are a lot of feral cats that people feed, and they are high risk for rabies since they eat anything and don't have shots.

    I think I just scared everyone in my office I was laughing so hard!

    Athough I am a tad disappointed that it took 3 pages to get to the first Christmas Story joke.....

    Sigh, well it's already been completely derailed anyway...

    I had to sit in the e.r. For close to six hours last night for the privilege of getting my hand shot full of novacaine and a doc dig in it for a good five minutes before giving up, writing me some prescriptions and a referral...

    Checked out the x-rays last after I got home, and it's pretty damn far in there. Right in the fleshy bit between the bones for the index and middle finger.

    So now I get to go see a hand surgeon tomorrow.

    Nawwwww, what bb gun has those ballistics? If they have half of that, that is impressive. If one does, I want one!

    My pellet rifle does 1200fps on alloy pellets, 1000fps on lead. They have newer ones that get up to 1500fps.


    krash - your a better man than me, I don't think I could've manned up and admitted to shooting myself on MDS (bb gun or other), hope they get you taken care of quickly.

    To further support that claim...

    I have a pellet rifle that is probably 30 years old that pushes lead >1000fps.

    Did the black panthers do it? Panther drive by?

    They were rolling by and you kindly waved. They said look at that honkey. Light him up with the BB choppa.

    Just a run of the mill Gamo - mine's a Big Cat I got for a steal since it was refurbished. Airgun depot has all kinds of high-powered air rifles, sometimes for a great price too. ;)


    Chad - that was almost too comical... :lol2:

    After sleeping on this it sounds like a botched suicide attempt to me...
    You know, that occurred to me last night and I didn't want to say it until we saw if he made it through the night.

    Good thing, I slept on it myself and now believe it more resembles a jacklighting wound.
