Parking Garage Surveillance Footage Prompts Campus Scare

<< < (2/2)

Dan W:
Recently a Lincolnite was arrested for shooting a bb gun at targets on his deck, after reported by his neighbors as a MWAG...didn't help that his deck was on a balcony ::)

NE Bull:
I remember a few years back a fella was cited and fined (IIRC) for target practicing with bow and arrow inside his enclosed privacy fence.

To me the wording of the law leaves the lawfulness of the shooting up to the discretion of whoever makes the decision.  For example, I would not consider shooting a BB or pellet gun in town to be done in such a way "as to endanger the safety of persons or property" if it is being done in a responsible manner, which includes adult supervision and a backstop that makes absolutely certain that no fired projectile leaves the yard, but some would say that it doesn't matter how responsibly it might be done, if it's done in town it endangers the safety...  So I suppose it'd be a matter of whether the judge (or whomever) used common sense or liberal doctrines in making his decision.  To me it looks like there had to be some reason for adding the in such a manner wording, but I don't know if that would matter to a liberal who just didn't like guns and gun owners, which points to the importance in doing what we can to make sure that only competent, honorable, and loyal Americans get into positions where they can make these decisions.

When I was 12ish I was shooting my bow in my parents back yard. I was shooting into the side of our desk lined with hay. Neighbors called the cops. Police stopped by and spoke to my dad about the complaint. They told us that they could not stop me from shooting but wanted to voice the concerns of the neighbors.
