Montana GOP Senate candidate says he lied to ranger about gunshot wound in 2015

#Tim #Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL who is the #Republican candidate in a U.S. Senate race in #Montana that could determine control of the chamber,
has cited a gunshot wound that he said left a bullet in his right arm as evidence of his toughness.

“I got thick skin — though it’s not thick enough. I have a bullet stuck in this arm still from Afghanistan,” Sheehy said in a video of a December campaign event posted on social media, pointing to his right forearm.

It was one of several #inconsistent #accounts Sheehy has shared about being shot while deployed.

And in October 2015, more than a year after he left active duty, he told a different story.

After a family visit to Montana’s Glacier National Park, he told a National Park Service ranger that he accidentally #shot #himself in the right arm that day when his Colt .45 revolver fell and discharged while he was loading his vehicle in the park.

The self-inflicted gunshot left a bullet lodged in Sheehy’s right forearm, according to the written description accompanying the federal citation that the ranger, a federal law enforcement officer, gave Sheehy for illegally discharging his weapon in a national park.

The citation said the description was based on Sheehy’s telling of events.


Asked this week about the citation, which has not been previously reported, Sheehy told The Washington Post that the statement he gave the ranger was a lie

I think the Pokemon showcases in #PokemonGO are buggy. Sometimes, if you catch a pokemon worth submitting to a showcase, the game will let you enter it, even if you're not exactly nearby. But sometimes it doesn't. #inconsistent #UX
