Mouth-Controlled Gun Helps Quadriplegic Hunt Again
The 46 year-old Cap has been unable to use his limbs since suffering a football injury 30 years ago. But after two and a half years of court battles, with a custom built, mouth controlled firing rig and the enlistment of hunting buddy, Cap has won his right to shoot wild animals. Cap's rig requires he have a companion set up the gun for him before taking over the controls. Aiming the gun by nudging toggles with his mouth, Cap fires his 12-gauge by blowing into a tube once he's got the target lined up.
Cap isn't the first disabled hunter in the U.S., and isn't even the first quadriplegic to take up arms, but he is one of a particularly rare breed. Of course, some may scoff at the idea of a man who can't control his own limbs having the ability to fire a deadly weapon, but at least he can see what he's shooting at.

You gotta REALLY want to kill something to do this ... so, how do you suppose this maniac travels through the woods? Don't get within 5 mils of THIS guy. Deer are safe, his hunting "buddy", uh not so much

If this guy is lucky, he'll suck instead of blow, and choke to death!

What a jerk! Hunters are the bottom of the evolvement chart. What a stupid, disgusting hobby, killing! Don't tell me this guy can't make better use of his life than KILLING! How sick is that? I think all you hunters should just hunt each other, get a real feel for it. The kids in all the school shootings? They, and their families were hunters.
