I went out this morning and when I looked down I seen a bullet in front of my truck. Thinking some dumb ass decided to shot up into the air some where and it landed missing my house and truck. So I picked it up looked at it and seen white paint on the tip of it (which both the car and truck are white) and seen nothing wrong with the truck looked around the mustang and I be damned it had hit my mustang. Needless to say I was pretty pissed this morning.

Yeah, that'd make me feel a certain type of way. Glad no one was hurt though.

Yeah no one was hurt. It had to of happened after I went to work and before my wife got home. Usually there is two other vehicles that block that side. Bad thing is I'm 95% sure I know who did it but I can't prove it. Also I have kids that go out around that time and I'm just glad they didn't get hit.

I’m assuming you reported this to the police? I’m sure I would have.

This is why people want extreme gun laws. Morons ruin everything.

So do district attorneys with lenient charges.

I sure did.

based on the lack of fragmentation it looks like the round was from an idiot shooting up in the air and it falling on your car.

No it was a direct hit to the side of the car just above the fuel door. It came from the back of my property and there is only one person behind me on about 6 acres and they shoot all the time. Even the cop told me it came from that way. It looked like a .380 but I didn't think to compare it to what I have before the officer took the bullet with him. I know the person shot from a good distance because it didn't go through the body.

even a 380 would punch a hole in that fender if it was a direct hit lol

Not necessarily. A small round like won't have that much energy at a distance.

So what are we thinking OP? Accident or Neighbour dispute? Either way I would be very very unhappy….

 

[HKusp]

He's got six acres, huh? So a wood chipper wouldn't be something that people wouldconsider "out of the ordinary"....hmmmm.

I think I would talk to my neighbor to make sure it doesn't happen again. You can explain that you think it was probably an accident and nobody got hurt this time, but he needs to make sure that his back stop keeps all his rounds on his property, because he is responsible for every round that leaves the barrel no matter where it lands. This time it was your car; the next time it could be your kid.

at distance like.... a guy shooting an already under powered 380 6 acres away (which could be nearly a mile) sending a stray over some trees/houses allowing for plenty of time to slow down before it registers a glancing blow on a fender?
