Washington man cites Biden's advice

Post by Flesh Thorn »

A Washington state man who fired a shotgun to deter alleged car prowlers claims he was following Vice President Joe Biden's advice about using a shotgun for protection when he scared the suspects away.
KOIN.com reports that 52-year-old Vancouver resident Jeffery Barton pleaded not guilty Wednesday to one count of illegal aiming or discharging a firearm.
Barton reportedly told deputies that he fired his shotgun while chasing away people he suspected to be breaking into his vehicles. Deputies have said there was no evidence of prowlers on his property, according to the report.
"I did what Joe Biden told me to do," Barton told KOIN.com following his arraignment hearing. "I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air."

Not sure I would openly admit to doing anything Joe Biden claims is a good idea.

So is he from Washington state or Vancouver? It makes a difference.

Vancouver, WA. Not sure how liberal they are really, but it is basically a bedroom community for Portland.
