There are different type so f shot, depending on what you use it for. For waterfould, it has to be bismuth, steel or coated I believe. For other game it doesn't, unless something has changed that I'm not aware of.
Motorcycle
400. (a) A "motorcycle" is any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider, designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, and weighing less than 1,500 pounds.
(b) A motor vehicle that has four wheels in contact with the ground, two of which are a functional part of a sidecar, is a motorcycle if the vehicle otherwise comes within the definition of subdivision (a).
BIGIRON said:Don't have the stats at hand, but it's pretty widely recognized that hunting and the shooting sports are among the safest activities.
I do agree that these guys should be cautious. It's just common sense. Maybe no biking or pretzel eating.
DieselDave is right. Around here something like this is a total non-event (except to the shooter and shootee). I am very safety concious and very picky about who I hunt or fish with. I haven't, to my knowledge, peppered anyone but did pepper my dog once--an occurance forever known as "the day Dave shot Sugar". She kept right on hunting but I was traumatized. I have been on the receiving end twice. No big deal.
I'm about 40 miles from the occurance.

NO, hunting is not a safe sport. Here in Wisconsin we have several deaths a year

Wasn't he riding one with a sidecar?InfidelCastro said:I wonder if that's why the media was kept in the dark for an entire day.. so that they could run out and get their hunting licenses.. reminds me of Arnold a month or so ago, crashing his bike... no motorcycle license..
