I don't even know how a person would go bout gittin themselves a giant letter "F" to carry honestly...... And yea I agree, at least no one was injured for sure, this time.I apologize in advance for the level of my immaturity....
By chance, were either of the trespassers carrying a large letter "F"?

At least no one was injured.
The more I think bout this the more I realize, I was raised differently than most when it comes to brandishing a firearm. As in, I was raised to NEVER clear leather unless I intend to kill without a doubt whatever it is I'm pulling up on wether animal, human or target no exceptions. This has been instilled in me from the time I could hold the barrel up
Once again I appreciate the input. All good points, and to answer you I basically put myself in the shoes of the shooters. Now I personally know all parties in the Incident. First I put myself in the position of someone who is of the mind that they are protecting a neighbor or there property. Before opening fire on a woman that is wearing nothing that can conceal a weapon, I'd take that into account first. And then having the moral decency to actually confront another like a man (especially knowing that I've got backup) I'd a asked what her business was soon to realize who this girl and her bf who would now be seen and clearly recognized that both of these individuals are not the type to do any harm. That's how it would have went down. Certain of it due to the nature of the two which I doubt has ever had to be violent in there lives. And knowing the other party personally, same goes for them. Even as reckless as they are known for being, upon realizing who was infact in question, the situation would have de-escalated dramatically
All I can recall being told bout that was that they had been up river the previous day and had walked bank in search for rocks, and they had to park almost a mile from were they had left off (before private land) and that the gf had walked up and knocked on door for whatever reason. So I assume walked up from river or surrounding area?
Well both especially the gf were in extreme shock, even the next day when they told me what had happened it was obvious. Keep in mind that these two are in no way "flatlanders" and are familiar with firearms. I mean ppl can make bubblegum up and do, but these arnt the type, and when the gf is obviously now terrified to practically go anywhere and the dude is explaining how branches exploded next to his head as they ran for there lives ECT. As It's being told I'm seeing the gf tremble and sob.... It's in no way a delusion. Besides word got around quicklike before the two was even released
Appreciate your time sir. Like previously stated, I'm beginning to think that it's just the difference in how I was raised to be with firearms that's got me fired up. You will never hear of or see me personally pull a firearm on anyone or anything that isn't lifeless a split second later. I was taught from a young age not to EVER pull up on anything unless I intend to destroy it without doubt..
I can assure, this is no feeble tale.
Makes sense
It is based on perspective. Ask the shooters what they saw or how it occurred. It's all sketchy secondhand intel that's tough to corroborate or verify. PAX
What you've shared so far leaves more questions than answers though, the fact that there was no arrest or even citation indicates the police did not have enough evidence to work with. Its not unreasonable for a home owner to be fearful of someone on their property, warning shots are a very common response even if illegal and doesn't mean your friends were actually shot at. Ive had friends that have a low understanding of what private property means, walking up thru someones property even with good intentions doesn't mean it will be understood that way and is still trespassing, so far the only evidence presented of a crime. I think thats why most here suggest its not worth pursuing.
My understanding is that is not public property per se, but the public can not be excluded from the area below the normal high water mark. However, they may not access the waterway through private property. So, if they were walking the river below the high water mark, and accessed that area from along the river, they would have been legal. But I don't think you can count on all waterfront landowners to understand this (or care).
I can also see the landowners feeling threatened by anyone walking up their property from any other direction than their driveway.
Thx, it's not my deal really. I just know that if I run up on a couple of ppl n busted a drum outta my 12 in there direction which is (not likely), they'd have me waiting for a room upstate
If it was the owners, for sure. But not the case here. Which is kinda what I told them. (Not the brightest idea to come up on a strangers land unannounced), but really that's due to unstable ppl that like to shoot first
All could be scenarios, but like I had stated I'm personally familiar with both parties. I'm just seeing it as hella reckless to the point that if someone was killed there's no way to prove it justified
