I had neighbors just like that when I lived in a rural area. Guns fired every which way, ATVs in Summer, Snowmobiles in Winter. They got off on noise and destruction, and death, too, as they liked to run down animals. I realize everyone that uses those “entertainments” isn’t like that. The county police didn’t like to get involved. I was sorry to leave our nice property, but the yahoos made it a miserable existence.
A women in NH was hanging laundry when she was shot and killed by a hunter. Deer must do laundry, I guess. Anyway the hunter was exonerated because the lady did not wear an orange vest while hanging her wash!!!! Another win for the NRA!!!
Baslim: long story short: I was actually hunting that same year on the opposite side of the Sierra from Mammoth, and a road hunter stopped, and shot down toward us. I yelled at him and he shot at us again, twice! I put two holes in the side of his Blazer and blew his windshield out. Shortly thereafter we both had a “conversation” with a deputy sheriff. The guy didn’t realize I was a federal law enforcement officer. He ended up doing a short jail time, and long probation, for ADW, and lost his hunting and firearms owner PRIVILEGES, for life in California.
Baslam the beggar says he felt safe in his car. Bulletproof car was it? In NM, during turkey season some years ago, a fellow of my acquaintance said he shot several times at a big tom turkey, heard no other shots, and when he returned to his big, yellow Mustang, he found several holes in it. I NEVER EVER go hiking during hunting season. Not all hunters are stupid or blind, but some of them are. Nuff said.
Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, A large flesh-colored squirrel. At any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new trend in the field of blood sports, and deserves a new type of hunting song which I present herewith:.I always will remember,‘twas a year ago November,I went out to hunt some deerOn a mornin’ bright and clear.I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow..I was in no mood to trifle,I took down my trusty rifleAnd went out to stalk my prey.What a haul I made that day.I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow,Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow..The law was very firm, itTook away my permit,The worst punishment I ever endured.It turned out there was a reason,Cows were out of season,And one of the hunters wasn’t insured..People ask me how I do it,And I say, "there’s nothin’ to it,You just stand there lookin’ cute,And when something moves, you shoot! "And there’s ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now,Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred guernsey cow.. - Tom Lehrer

Vandalism from gunfire runs the milions of dollars every year, and that doesn’t count the damage to PRIVATE PROPERTY!

The second amendment clearly protects everyone’s right to open fire in a crowded theater.

We leased our ranch in Texas to hunters, mostly from Dallas and Fort Worth, and most of them had no idea which end of the rifle went “bang”

“Hunters” have gotten even crazier since then.

Because my freedom trumps everyone else’s safety. So what else is new?
