Tim Sheehy, the Montana Republican nominee for Senate, said in an interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly that there are no medical records that would prove he did not accidentally shoot himself in the arm in Glacier National Park in 2015.
Sheehy is facing a fresh round of scrutiny about a bullet wound in his arm, which he has told voters he sustained while serving as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan in 2012. But in 2015, he told a park ranger he accidentally inflicted the wound upon himself when he dropped his weapon in a parking lot in Glacier National Park and it fired into his arm.

Tim Sheehy violates Naval Honor Code

... In 2004, Minnesota's Tim Sheehy signed the Naval Academy's midshipmen's Oath of Office and Honor Code which say he wouldn't "lie, steal or cheat," and would do his "duty and to live honorably."
Nineteen years later, that same Tim Sheehy announced running for Montana's U.S. Senate seat. Based upon the number of lies he's told the press and people of Montana, Sheehy not only had abandoned Minnesota in pursuit of political power, he also abandoned his Midshipman's Oath and Honor Codes.
As an Eisenhower Republican and a proud veteran, I strive to live by a similar oath and honor code. But Sheehy's long list of prevarications make him unworthy of my vote and the office he seeks.
Sheehy stated he grew up "rural" in Minnesota. Actually, he grew up in a suburb of St. Paul, in a multimillion-dollar lakeside house.
Sheehy has made his military service central to his campaign. But, when Sheehy left active duty in 2014,records show he was discharged with an "involuntary separation" after failing to earn promotion to the next rank.
He claimed on a podcast that he'd been a Navy SEAL from 2004 to 2014.Impossible since he didn't graduate from the Naval Academy until 2008.
Sheehy also claimed he'd parachuted into Glacier Park during Seal training -- which the Park Service says not only didn't happen to him, it is not allowed at all.
Sheehy talks about a badge of honor, a bullet he claimed was lodged in his arm in Afghanistan. He's told so many different stories about this that it makes your head spin.
Sheehy has said he "lied" to a Glacier National Park ranger about accidentally shooting himself in his arm in the park in October 2015 " claimed he'd gotten shot in Afghanistan instead.The park ranger last week said Sheehy wasn't shot in Afghanistan -- that Sheehy signed a statement and paid a fine for shooting himself in Glacier Park -- all verified by park records.
In another questionable story, Sheehy said he used his "life savings" to start Bridger Aerospace, but records show he received considerable assistance from his father and brother, a Wall Street financier. ...
