Tim Sheehy’s Senate campaign received a shot in the arm recently or was it years ago? As a highly trained Navy Seal in Afghanistan he took a hit for his buddies by withholding information about a bullet in his arm. Three years after discharge, he further protected his buddies by shooting himself in the arm while falling in an injury that resulted in a $525 fine for illegally discharging a firearm in a National Park. The guy is obviously a victim of medical theft as he is now short one bullet in his arm? The park ranger looked, it was not in his gun!
Sounds like real old-time Montana values at work. While traveling in possession of a properly locked and loaded firearm, in a dangerous wilderness Montana park with wild tourists all around, he shoots his arm while in the parking lot. His cover story firmly places his foot in his mouth. Let’s hope he is not presently armed and further takes aim at his foot.
What a statement of military character. He’ll fight for abortion bans and preserve Montana billionaires’ tax breaks. Let’s run him for the US Senate!
I think I’d rather vote for a Big Sandy farmer. (pun intended)

I DO NOT understand your defense of Sheehy? Paid a fine for firing weapon. Said he didn’t fire a weapon. One bullet missing from chamber. Please elaborate.

Also from that Washington post article
He paid the fine for illegally discharging a weapon in the park but recently told the Post that it never went off in Glacier. The ranger said that he believed Sheehy’s account because there was a singular bullet missing from the firearm.

Another great letter, Archie and Merry.
