Not too bright of a Texas man.

[BartSimpson]

Almost a Darwin award!

[xerxes]

Serves him right.

Skeptic guy doesn't believe a bullet will deflect directly off an armadillo, directly back into the shooter's face.

[BeaverFever]

3 shots in the dark, armadillo not found, I wonder how they know what the ricochet really bounced off of?

[N_Fiddledog]

You guys didn't really think this was the first guy to shoot an armadillo, did you?

Try a YouTube search on 'shooting armadillo'. Prepare to be amazed.

Here, I'll start you off.



Now, do I believe a bullet, even from a 22 is going to bounce directly, like a reflection from a mirror, backwards off an armadillo like that to hit somebody in the face?

I know the CBC would never lie, of course, however...

[BeaverFever]

Yeah it's all a cbc left wing fake news conspiracy.


BTW if you pay attention you'll see the story came from Thomson Reuters

Oh, well it must be true then. Why should I believe common sense, the nature of reality and my lying eyes if it's a story from Reuters retold by the CBC.

I did notice whoever it is, he doesn't want to give you the "victim's" name. So it's a story Reuters said some Texas Sheriff told them about some anonymous guy, is it? Oh well...that makes all the difference then.

Must be a Russian armadillo.

Must be a Russian armadillo.

I think it must have ricocheted off a rock that was beside or under the critter. Regardless, it's a freak accident.

Actually, I killed one once with a VW Beetle. But this isn't a story about shooting armadillo! It's a story about idiots with guns. After you do your "shooting small armoured animal "search, try one entitled "idiots with guns."

[N_Fiddledog]

Bingo. You just hit on the real reason Reuters and the CBC want to push this bogus claptrap story about a bullet reflecting off an armadillo like a reflection in a mirror.

It's not about armadillos. It's about hating/fearing guns.

[Strutz]

LOL. A quick look up told me this happened 2 years ago. For reasons unknown the story is circulating again. Guess there's not enough "real news" going around.

Even funnier... we even had a thread about it on here.

NOooo...it's about idiots with guns. AND perhaps about limiting access of said idiots to guns. By the way, armadillos are a major pest AND a carrier of leprosy. So when you head to Texas for your annual armadillo hunt, forgo this years BBQ.
