Summary
Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy has admitted lacking medical records to substantiate his claim of being shot in combat, a story he maintains despite conflicting accounts.
An ex-park ranger alleges Sheehy accidentally shot himself in 2015 while hiking in Glacier National Park, an incident Sheehy insists was a gun misfire that did not injure him.
Additional controversies surround Sheehy, including accusations of derogatory remarks about Crow Native Americans and scrutiny over financial practices at his former firefighting company.
Despite these issues, Sheehy leads the race against Democratic incumbent Jon Tester.
As he repeated to Kelly, Sheehy says he fell while hiking, which made his gun go off – and the only reason he went to the hospital was because he was worried the bullet already in his arm from his service in Afghanistan might have become dislodged.
Holy shit! I’ve heard some nonsense lies from republicans but this is hilarious. He fell down thought that the bullet lodged in his arm for the last however many years became dislodged, whatever that means.
Rifle rounds are well known for “lodging” within the first couple of inches of impact.
Pistol rounds ricocheting of rocks however are almost always through and through wounds.
Being shot twice in the exact same space is to be expected as bullets tend to roost is lodging places.
An ancient bullet burial ground?
