A .44 mag is a very powerful weapon. I hope she’s ok. I’m praying for you

A .44 magnum shot to the chest, I seriously doubt the victim will survive.

I seriously doubt you have a soul for saying that.

Having a soul has nothing to do with it. Just stating a possible fact.

Then explain your reasoning for making such negative assumptions about someone’s life. Did you really need to throw that out there? No, and it was beyond inappropriate.

<<<<<<I'm rolling my eyes on your last statement. A .44 Magnum to the chest, think about it brainiac. You no doubt don’t know what a .44 Magnum is. My original statement did not mean I hoped I was right. Does EVERYTHING you see have to be explained to you in detail? In your case, common sense is not so common.

Most gun rights advocates say that a pocket knife is as dangerous as a handgun, so I would expect she has a good chance of being just fine, if this is true.

so it was the gun, yeah ok. so if someone gets hit by a car do you also automatically blame the car? your logic is not too solid, especially having very little information to go on besides that it was accidental.
i hope she makes it.

Or it was a person with a gun. If someone get hits by a car, we assume it wasn’t a car designed solely for the purpose of killing people.

Elmer Kieth designed the 44 magnum to give greater range and terminal ballistics for hunting. FOR HUNTING GAME ANIMALS…not people

At 7:30 a.m. we received a telephone call from the 24-year old female this morning. She is doing well after her surgery. We want to give a shout-out to the Petrolia Volunteer Fire Department, to Dr. Peter Nash, to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department, and to the ambulance and air company that responded in such a swift manner in this matter.
