Sorry but this just simply isn’t true. As a democratic gun owner this is just false. Slot would depend on the bullet. But if he was lucky enough to only pierce his ear with the angle, then the flesh of an ear is not enough to mushroom most bullets. It’s just simple to soft.

Not sure how it pierced the top of his ear and missed his skull. Though a piece of glass from the teleprompter might do that.

a possible basal carcinoma. I had more blood down my ear from that than what I saw from tramp.
Grazed maybe. Not too sure about pierced.

On a different topic, does anyone know how long it took to film any of the scenes from Wag The Dog?
