So he didn’t have a scar because he hadn’t been shot, so he shot himself in a park and lied in order to have a wound that he could point to as the earlier wound from Afghanistan?
So either..
1. He was involved in some shady shit in the military & got shot & lied about it
2. He accidentally shot himself at a park & then lied about it
3. He got shot another way & used the park scenario to lie about it
4. He shot himself on purpose in the park to cover up his military lie
I swear, these guys can't even lie well, they gots to go to Tr*mp Uni and get themselves an education at the feet of the MASTER. What a bunch of dinguses.
I’m going to go with the simplest explanation: he dropped a gun in Glacier, it went off and hit him. He then lied about it to further his career. And he got caught in said lie.
Right? Jon Tester, a person actually liked and respected by Montanans of many different stripes seems much more charismatic to me, but I don’t get all tingly at the sight of serial liars, so what do I know?
“So here’s the truth: the lie I told in 2015 was to cover up a lie I told earlier. I lied earlier to maybe cover for some guys that may or may not have been doing something wrong. Honest!
“Also, you can totally trust me to stand up for what’s right, speak truth to power, do my duty, blah blah blah”
Just getting so tired of GOP lies. Nothing but lies. Just want nothing to do with such fraudsters. Please if you support GOP and MAGA, do us both a favour and block me. Lies, hate, fraud, self-indulgence, criminal conspiracy, sex trafficking. MAGATS and their current charges. Just get away from me!
Alternatively he really did have a hard fall in the park onto a bullet still lodged in there, but the bullet wasn't from an undocumented FF incident and instead was from something that would have gotten him booted out of the SEALs.
I'm sure the ER staff knew exactly what they were dealing with. According to Sheehy's lawyer, hospital staff told Sheehy that they had to report the gsw regardless of how old it was.
I'm going to take the safe bet here and go with Sheehly lying, it's not the legal requirement in Montana and I'm doubtful that the ER staff told him that it was

There is an X-ray, & the expert says, the bullet is from a low-velocity gun, not a weapon of war. Also not a ricochet, because of the smooth texture of surrounding tissue. So he is definitely lying.
It was 1 of several inconsistent accounts Sheehy has shared about being shot while deployed. in October 2015 more than a year after he left active duty, he told a different story
told a National Park Service ranger that he accidentally shot himself in the arm that day after his gun fell & discharged
More holes in his story than Swiss cheese. He disguised a bullet wound during active duty? Hmm. Maybe? Then he makes up a story to cover another story? But, wait. There's more. He just keeps digging.

"He seems like someone I could have a beer with and trade lies."
Wtf
The originals were notorious for accidental discharge if carried with the hammer down on a loaded chamber. Which is why people loaded only 5.
But regardless, he’s a liar and probably none of what he’s saying is true.
(We all agree he knowingly and willingly and repeatedly said something untruthful. That’s not a matter of debate.)
It’s a felony to lie to federal law enforcement.
Are national park rangers federal law enforcement?
No, really: ???
I am simply befuddled.
“Also, you can totally trust me to stand up for what’s right, speak truth to power, do my duty, blah blah blah”
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

Maybe he shouldn’t be a prolific liar. At least he has that consistency with rest of the GOP.
