Quadriplegic Hunter Wins Right to Kill Things

It’s a slow news day in the world of sports, but this story is pretty cool–and I just don’t mean for the horrifying contraption you see above.

That guy there is Jamie Cap, a 46-year-old hunter who also happens to be quadriplegic, the result of a football accident some 30-odd years ago.  But being confined to a wheelchair, without the use of his hands or legs, kind of put the kibosh on Cap’s hunting fun.

But that’s all changed, thanks to a 2 1/2 year legal battle that Cap finally won, which allowed him to own and operate a 12-gauge shotgun.  How you ask?  Via a battery-powered machine that is operated by a breathing tube.

That…is…awesome.

Cap fired his first shot in three decades, an experience he could only describe as “priceless.”
