This is what happened in the community my daughter did not move to.
Maybe not the first time. The rest he knew and didn't care.
Oh he knew. This gentleman was very well know by local law enforcement. They even used this land for shooting. It was a horror show for a while but I understand he's gone now.
How exactly would a law have prevented that? Criminals are gonna criminal. Laws prevent nothing, enforcement does.
I'm amused you think talking to them would lead to a news story, but shooting being revenge for something being accidental is your issue with number 2. It's pretty clear number 2 is an emotional response, thats how i would FEEL. I would absolutely go talk to them. Bullets are hitting your property. If they have an issue with changing that reality, then you know where your cards lie when the next steps are needed.
It was certainly a negligent, stupid and irresponsible act. Unless you have knowledge that it was intentional then it likely was an accident.
I agree with letting the LEO take care of it, which it seems the OP is doing.
#2 seems a lot like revenge for something that may have been unintentional. Stupid, negligent, irresponsible and very dangerous but not necessarily meant to cause damage or harm.
#3 seems like the lead up to an evening news story of a confrontation that escalates violently with both parties hurt or in jail.
Calling the police, which the OP did, creates a better paper trail than anything you could possibly do.
This thread has nothing to do with gun control laws, enforcement of those laws, or about criminals. This is about a neighbor shooting his gun and the, hopefully, accidental hitting of OP's car. File this under "shit happens".
Then why don't you make the same comment to the comment that started it.
It apples to all posts trying to change the agenda of this thread. It is not necessary and, quite frankly, a little bit disrespectful to OP.
Why are you misreading my comment? It's not like I'm the one proposing more laws. The point is not to imply that laws work, but that for every idiot that does something like this, uninformed non gun people have more ammo to use for stupid legislation.
