A Washington state man who fired a shotgun to deter alleged car prowlers claims he was following Vice President Joe Biden's advice about using a shotgun for protection when he scared the suspects away

KOIN.com reports that 52-year-old Vancouver resident Jeffery Barton pleaded not guilty Wednesday to one count of illegal discharging a firearm. "I did what Joe Biden told me to do," Barton told KOIN.com following his arraignment hearing. "I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air."

Biden made the recommendation during a Facebook chat in February, saying he has advised wife Jill to stand on the deck of their rustic home and fire the family's double-barreled shotgun in the air, should she sense an intruder.
“You don’t need an AR-15 — it’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use. You don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself," Biden said at the time. "Buy a shotgun."


Clark County sheriff's deputies told the station that residents may only fire off their gun in life-threatening situations, not as in this case or that described by Biden.

Barton was arrested, booked and released the next day pending arraignment.

Biden, who got six deferments to dodge the draft, is a complete idiot.

[Clownkicker]

johnforbes, who allowed himself to be drafted and used, is a complete idiot.


If you think that comment is stupid, then you have some idea of just how stupid your own comment is, johnfoprbes.
Don't you ever tire of your own worthless opinions?

Think for a change.

Forbes always forgets that Dick Cheney, the de facto "War Time" President of the United States, 2000-2008, applied for and was granted five deferments because he "had other priorities."

Cheers!

[johnforbes]

I forget nothing of the sort.

What I recall is that plenty of people who pranced upon the public stage, and proclaimed their desire to "serve" the public, ran as quickly as they could away from Vietnam.

That included Cheney, Gingrich, and a host of Repubs, as well as Clinton, Biden, and a host of Dems.

Which brings us to little Mr. Clownkicker, who couldn't kick his way out of a wet paper bag.

I hereby exempt him from reading my posts.

[Grog]

I totally agree that guys from both sides (including El Rushbo, the titular head of the GOP, who avoided serving because he literally had a giant zit on his ass [look it up]) ducked out of their duties.

One of the differences between conservatives and liberals on this matter is that the GOP has produced many more Chickenhawks, being defined as those who declined their opportunity to fight but are more than eager to send others to fight and die to serve their "other priorities."

So when you bring up deferments, you might want to keep that in mind. Especially if you're listening to Ted "Chickenhawkscratch Fever" Nugent.


Cheers!

Imagine how wounded I am by johnforbes' comment about my physical prowess. :lol:

But of course he can't deny my point about how stupid his worthless comment about Biden was.
johnforbes always hates being reminded of how he was willingly used by 'the man' for an immoral war.

Goes to show how conservatives show any lack of accountability, even when they are actually holding the smoking gun.

Even Dick Cheney admitted that he screwed up....

:lol:

Accountability for what?

[johnforbes]

Of course, I've noted the positions of Rush and Nugent.

But that is what was so fascinating about RVN.

Stallone was a draft-dodger, but later it became cool to have served, and he made flicks pretending to be "Rambo."

I apologize to Clowncoker for saying he couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag. Perhaps, if the paper bag were wet, he could.

As to Grog, he almost beat Audrey Hepburn in an arm-wrestling match.

[Grog]

It's frequently a good idea to let women win the small prizes so you can claim the big ones.

Also, most around here are not going to know who Audrey was without Googling. You're showing your advanced years and lack of relevance again.

Justme...

Your Forrest Gump defense will not work for your nor the clown who decided to scare some kids away by shooting a shotgun in the air.

Classic Gump!!!!!

This old sumbitch is so senile he can't even remember what he said just five hours ago.
"couldn't kick his way out of a wet paper bag."
"if the paper bag were wet, he could."

Big dumb schmuck. :lol:

[johnforbes]

I'd love to read all my posts just to figure out all the literary references, but time's winged chariot does not permit.

I do resent being called "dumb."

Being Irish, I spent the best three years of my life in the 6th grade.

Anybody who hasn't seen "Sabrina" (with Bogart and Holden) is missing out.

"Roman Holiday" is actually quite relevant because, in her press conference, she is asked about the notion of a European Union.

There was a joke at time: The only rich man that went to Vietnam......was Bob Hope.

[johnforbes]

That's a good joke, but not accurate.

I served with a lt named "Merck."
