The whole Cheney-massacre sounds like a bad joke. "Millionaire VP shoots millionaire lawyer." He's probably one of the few people on earth who could 'accidentally' shoot a millionaire lawyer and get away with just apologising.
"Hey, good buddy. Sorry about shooting you in the head. I thought you were a grouse!"
"Hey, no problem."
This is one of the reasons that I don't handle guns. See, to be a good gun handler, you gotta have experience. The bad thing about experience is that you have to live through it to gain any benefits. I have enough trouble trying not to kill myself accidentally with everyday objects designed to be safe. What chance have I got with a contraption designed solely to cause death swiftly and easily? It's as irresponsible as allowing 78-yr-old men to wander round in shambling groups with loaded guns in their weekends.
