My thoughts are these...... We all know what a gun can do. The antis are always looking for fuel for the fire. Hunting pics that are graphic aren't allowed for this reason. Hunting isn't stupid, and has a place in game control, and quality of life for the animals we persue. This on the other hand was a stupid act on the part of the victim. Yes he was lucky that he got injured as minimally (relative) as he did. It serves as a painful reminder, but do we need pictures to show it?
I am opposed for the reasons stated above, but will leave this open to you guys, and Chris to decide.

Edit out the pic's but leave the thread if it's a problem, I think enough of us have seen "the toe" by now. There can never be enough emphasis placed on gun safety.

Hey, that would certainly be a fun and educational DIY project with your .458 Lott, Dan!
 
Be sure to post 'before' and 'after' pics if you try it!

I'd leave it. It's an effective reminder to always be careful.

I think we have the general idea from the boot photo.  In keeping with what has been the consistent - no bloody  photos ... policy  ----- I have removed the more graphic images. 
 
We all really need to be careful and teach others to be careful.
