Minor League Team Pokes Fun at Vice President
Las Vegas Wranglers Will Hand Out Orange Hunting Vests

The Las Vegas Wranglers, a minor league hockey team, will distribute orange hunting vests with "Don't Shoot, I'm Human," written on the front to poke fun at Vice President Dick Cheney.
The Las Vegas Wranglers plan to distribute 1,000 vests to fans arriving for Friday's game as part of a promotion dubbed "Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night" at the Orleans Arena.
"It was sort of too juicy not to do," said Billy Johnson, Wranglers president and chief operating officer. "It's one of those events in pop culture."
He referred to Cheney accidentally wounding a hunting partner while quail hunting Feb. 11 on a Texas ranch.
Cheney's office in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond Monday to requests for comment.
The Wranglers, of the East Coast Hockey League, are scheduled to play the Alaska Aces on Friday. The 7,000-seat arena is at the Orleans hotel-casino.
