Imagine you just crashed, you are in agonizing pain, and you can't move your legs. You also just happened to be carrying a pistol... what ya gonna do?

Wait to find out what's really wrong or if it's permanent? if it's just the legs you could always shoot yourself later....

i'm with fasterblkduc on this one: the deer's friends did it, then put the gun in the guys' hand.

That's what my gut said at first.

Let me propose another theory:


This guy is normally ca-ca for cookoo puffs.

He's riding around, takes out the deer and whacks his unhelmeted noggin off the tarmac.  

The impact gives him a sudden moment of clarity and he realizes he's living in Pennsyltucky.

Quickly assessing the extent of his injuries, the poor sap knows he's still stuck there for a while.

Also realizing he is carrying a pistol, he chooses the quickest way out of PA possible.

Sweet release.

Not that.

I don't mean to turn this into an NRA pro v con argument, but how many of you guys ride with gun on board?  I know there are some people out there that always have a gun within arms length, and perhaps, the man in this story is one of them...But I truly believe that this man was the only person to know the actual whereabouts to president obama's birth records.  The deer was an undercover secret service agent assigned to observe him.  Hitting the deer was a true accident, but the death of the agent caused the CIA need to removed the victim and replace the dead agent with a real deer carcass.  It really simple when you learn to read betwen the lines!!

That would certainly be my first instinct as well, as self termination isn't an option in my books, but for some people it certainly is.

Of course if I was say... 73, instead of 23, I may simply prefer to put myself out of my misery than endure a couple more years of agonizing post crash pain/recovery just to die shortly after anyway.

I hate riding with anything in my pocket, nevermind a gun...what a great opening scene for a movie.

I can't believe you are all carrying on like this! Quite frankly I'm embarrassed.....


This is what really happened:
The deer was riding the motorcyle when a wild man walked out into the road. The deer swerved, which caused his fatal accident.
Overcome with grief for causing the accident, the man took the deer's sidearm and did himself in!

Now that's detective work

If he shot himself, shouldn't the gun have been right next to him?

Stop stating the obvious. 

You're ruining our far-fetched theories!

Well, one of the first things you're told to do in the military when someone sustains a head injury is to take their weapon away from them.  People behave unpredictably with head injuries, sounds like if the guy wasn't wearing his helmet there is a good chance he bumped his head.
     He probably was not himself when this happened.

I'm going with "disoriented rider attempts to call 911 with his gun, with unfortunate results."
