Did a GOP candidate’s gunshot wound really come from overseas combat…or an accident during a family vacation?

No, but it does make for a good attempt from the progressive-left smear machine.
Asked this week about the citation, which has not been previously reported, Sheehy told The Washington Post that the statement he gave the ranger was a lie. He said he made up the story about the gun going off to protect himself and his former platoonmates from facing a potential military investigation into an old bullet wound that he said he got in Afghanistan in 2012. He said he did not know for certain whether the wound was the result of friendly fire or from enemy ammunition, and said he never reported the incident to his superiors.
Sheehy said he did not shoot himself in the park in 2015, but rather fell and hurt himself on a hike, necessitating a trip to an emergency room, where he said he told hospital staff he had a bullet in his arm, triggering his interview with the ranger.
“I guess the only thing I’m guilty of is admitting to doing something I never did,” Sheehy said of paying a $525 fine for illegally discharging his weapon in the national park; he now says the gun never went off in the park. He added of his platoonmates: “It was a small price to pay to make sure that a whole team of really great Americans didn’t get dragged through the mud over this.”
To the progressive-left, falling on your sword to protect battle buddies is reprehensible, which does fit the mold for them (all the while the chants of "Death to America" from the progressive-left are heard in the background).
Democrats are getting desperate because he's leading Tester in the polls.

Sheehy says he lied about accidental discharge, gunshot wound incident in Glacier
The report published Saturday, which includes contributions from eight Washington Post journalists, is the first to detail Sheehy’s October 2015 citation for illegally discharging a weapon in a national park.

LTC Trent Klug - Blumenthal is a chicken shit coward and I can't see how any vet can support him. Especially combat vets. He has no buisness in being in the senate or any political office, The lieing SOB.

SPC Lyle Montgomery On a few occasions, Senator Blumenthal (D) misspoke and claimed he "served in Vietnam" or used similar phrasing that implied he had served in the Vietnam theater, when in fact he only served stateside in the Marine Reserves. He "misspoke" at rallies when running for office. When your a Democrat it's called a misspoke but if you're a Republican the person is not fit for office.

Just another example of a politician who didn't anticipate his own words would come back to bite him
