That's so kick-ass. I mean, the last time I fired bird shot at a target, I called it "shooting." At the same time, I followed what I'd been taught to avoid "shooting" someone else. If only the PD range instructors had known that since it was "birdshot" not "bullets," and it would "spray" someone, maybe we could have taken off the vests, goggles, and earplugs. Heck, it's not even dangerous! Then again, the target we "sprayed" at close range looked "devestated" but that's becuase no one told it that the "spray" of "little bits of lead" were not such a big deal.

Better yet, we're seeng semantic discussion on what getting shot with a shotgun really means. Apparently, if you're shot with a shotgun in the face, with the right ammo, it's just cool! You go to the ER, you get some band-aids, and you're fine!

Let me repeat that: semantic discussion on what is, or is not, getting shot in the face by a shotgun at close range. Not downrange, not "waaaay over there" but at close range.
