I was just going to say that. And yes, it's a real cannon.

So the problem isn't shooting a real gun at the games, it is that he can't also use the same gun to hunt with? Why not just build a gun that can only shoot blanks?

Reminds me when I got told not to point my "gun" at other kids at recess. You know, the one you make with your hands (aka finger gun).

Personally, I trust the people that blow the cannon off because there's multiple people.

I don't trust a mascot with a beard from West Virginia. How do we know his girl didn't leave him for his brother the night before and he's gonna go on a shooting spree?

I'm fine if they do it at their own games. Just don't bring that **** into my house.

Mountaineers gonna Mountaineer.

He could get one shot off. That's it. It's black powder and takes too long to load to go on a killing spree

A shooting spree with a musket?

If you actually want some meat from the animal... Probably no, although I guess you could make some nuggets from the leftovers

I guess not a shooting spree but a shooting. One shot can do a lot of damage.

1. Cannon guys are ROTC
2. Rednecks always find something to screw up

I thought it was Alpha Sigma Phi (or at least it was when I was going there).

I'm a hunter but not very sporting to have dogs chase a cub bear up a tree and keep it cornered while you take your time shooting it as it clings for dear life, nice shot?? I don't give a crap if he brings the gun to games, I doubt he'll shoot anyone unless they climb a tree and sit still.
