Dec 13 2009Pew Pew?: Quadriplegic Man Wins Right To Hunt With Mouth-Operated Shotgun
Because everybody deserves the right to shoot animals, a 46-year old quadriplegic will now be hunting in New Jersey with the assistance of a mouth-operated 12-gauge shotgun.
Jamie Cap, 46, was injured in an accident 30 years ago while playing American football. A head-on tackle resulted in a neck injury that left him a quadriplegic and robbed him of hunting, one of his passions.
"I don't know if there are words," he said. "I'm so happy. When you find you can do something again after 30 years, you can't put a price on that. Some people think it's nothing, but try being paralysed for 30 years and then come talk to me."For a quadriplegic, firing a shotgun requires help from a companion. In Mr Cap's case, a friend sets up the contraption, safety on, on Mr Cap's wheelchair and Mr Cap aims the shotgun by moving the toggle switch with his mouth. Once his partner releases the safety, Mr Cap fires by sipping on the breathing tube.
BLAM! *bleeding* Ugh. Coke. on. right.
US quadriplegic man wins right to go hunting [telegraph]
Thanks to Malice, who feels sorry for New Jersey deer, but only because they live in Jersey.

If this guy is into Hunting and this makes him feel better while being quadriplegic, Being able to do something yo enjoyed growing up doing is a big deal. I don't even want to think about what I would do if I couldn't play Video games or fuck around on my computer again... And I am a Gun Owner (several), I live in the northern subs of Chicago, so I am not a red neck. I say Good for Him. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

Poor fella. It's all he's got. I can't imagine it would be easy to aim with your mouth....

Fair enough. Doesnt your america constitution give you the right to bear arms? Even if yours dont work.
(damn recoil.....chipped a tooth......)
16. aaron - December 13, 2009 4:54 PM
@14.... Who says you gotta stop having sex if your a quad??? Hell I was with this one girl back in high school who just laid there anyways and I fucked her all the time....
17. naas - December 13, 2009 5:33 PM
@13 yeah. probably....
18. Closet Nerd - December 13, 2009 8:21 PM
That is why New Jersey is the "armpit" of America... but then I guess it is better than being America's "wang".... thats why its called the 'sunshine state'.... just sayin
19. 4thelulz - December 13, 2009 8:52 PM
that redneck should do new jersey a favor and shoot himself.
20. cheez - December 13, 2009 9:19 PM
I thought that hunting was actually going through the forest and following the animals tracks and then killing it... I don't hunt, probably won't until the zombies take over, am not a yank and don't own nor know how to shoot a gun (except duck hunt) but saying that don't you have to make some attempt at hitting the animal at a kill spot? Blow darts with bullets seems like a crap shoot.

No. Hope. For. Humanity.

Hey-- I hate rednecks & teabagger Palinistas w/ a passion that surpasses anything you have ever seen,
and even _I_ think this is cool. Fuck, man, let the guy have some fun.
25. That uncle who did that bad thing we don't speak about - December 14, 2009 5:04 AM
@8 LOL!!! That's one of the funniest comments I've read on here in a long time...
But seriously, this is a stirring and beautiful piece whichs shows us that no matter how horrendous and crippling an accident, man will strive onwards to overcome all obstacles in the way of his passion for wheelchair-mounted, mouth-operated shotguns.
Great work America.

Ok he shoots the deer. The deer runs off (like they usually do for a mile or more). What then? I ask You what THEN!
Hunting isnt just blowing away a live animal it's living off that meat. I hope is companion likes walking as much as setting up the contraption.
27. Mr. Roboto - December 14, 2009 8:22 AM
It amazes me what can be passed off as hunting these days.
Sitting in a shed waiting for an animal to walk in front of your gun and then "sipping" the trigger is NOT hunting!

Hey-- I hate hippies & racists and Bidinests w/ a passion that surpasses anything you have ever seen,
and even _I_ think this is cool. Fuck, man, let the guy have some fun.
29. Jaded Icon - December 14, 2009 9:16 AM

30. OMG Jaja ! - December 14, 2009 9:56 AM
@16 hahahahahaha oh my god. oh my god.
Disable yourself right now.
Become a quadraplegic. And then we'll see who's getting regular sex haha...
31. AaronZZZ - December 14, 2009 1:39 PM
@32.. I dont need to "Disable" myself to know the out come, If your a man all you need is a Popscicle Stick, 2 bubber bands, And $30 to have sex while being a quad... I will let you figure out how each Item I listed is used. And IF your a woman all you need is a guy who is either drunk enouph or has no standards.
32. AaronZZZ - December 14, 2009 1:46 PM
Oh and If the Quad in question actually has a working penis (Dick, shlong, wang, etc...) then all he needs is the $30-$1000 dollars depending on the quality of the prostitute (whore, maddam, Ho, etc..). Personaly I go for the $22.50 Ho's, More bang for the buck.
33. DKNL - December 14, 2009 10:26 PM
Wiat a second...
Yup...now that I think of it...
He issn't pewing... it's NOMMING
Thats some dangerous bite he has...
I should hire him as a watchquad (see what I did there...)
Normally ppl try to catch a bullet with their teeth, not shoot bullets (buck/hail) with it...
Never drink and steer with ur mouth...
SERIOUSLY I could go on for hours with this...
but even I must sleep.
34. caribbean cruise - December 16, 2009 5:47 AM
How will he aim and how will he load
as he can use his hands. Hope he
has done well.

36. Ninny - December 18, 2009 3:46 AM
Yay. Can't walk, but at least he can kill. Must be really proud of himself.
Homer: You better have a good reason for doing that, boy.
Jimbo: It makes me feel like a big man.
Homer: Let me check my reason list. ...Yep! It's on here.
