Kunce addressed the incident on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, 鈥淲e had four first aid kits, so we were able to take care of the situation.鈥 He added that he was relieved the reporter was not seriously hurt.
Great day at the range today with my friend . We got to hang out with some union workers while exercising our freedom. Always have your first aid kit handy. Shrapnel can always fly when you hit a target like today, and you鈥檝e got to be ready to go. We had four first鈥
