He shot at someone for egging his house?

[Doc In UPlace]

Perhaps @ ZA can illuminate the issue.

i was in a similar situation about 12 years ago (i was 16).as a silly prank, my buddys TP'd my parents house (which now,IIRC carries a hefty consequence). the neighbor saw what was about to go on as he was leaving his house. little did my friends know, i was watching the whole thing and called the neighbor on his cell phone... he said (in his indian accent) "hey buddy, do you see what is going on?!?!" i said yes. he said "ive been around the corner waiting for them to leave instead of closing my store for the night (US market and cigs) watch and see what happens!" as my friends pulled away here came my neighbor in his escalade and blocks the whole street... he gets out and i swear put the fear of God in these kids like i had never seen before...nothig physical just verbal. the next morning my parents had no idea any of this happened until i told them everything. As far as i know they never TP'd another house after that.

Its good to have good neighbors.

I believe the correct response to an egging, is a spud gun

throw in a bacon sling shot and youve just wasted a pretty decent breakfast

I can understand his rage, especially since punk kids get away with this crap.
However, killing someone over it.. Come on..

If the vandalism was that bad Perhaps a BB gun (illegal) or paintball gun (still illegal) but at least they arent lethal.

However.. Even if these types of people didnt have firearms they are ticking time bombs anyway.. If not here and with a firearm then it would have been somewhere else and perhaps he'd use his vehicle, or with a baseball bat or machete (as seen in other stories)

However.. I bet no one will egg his house anymore.

How about a camera and a photo of the license plate. Risking your gun rights over an egging is insane.

They may be legal but I wouldn't expect you to be able to shoot someone with paintballs on the street and not get in trouble.
I'm completely guessing here. I don't paintball and know nothing of laws around them.

In Clark county it is the same as discharging a firearm if you shoot a paintball gun outside a licensed arena.

different times man... we used to paintball and bbgun war in city limits lol.

 

[jyuzamas]

Amazing how nothing happens to the people who create the problem, gotta love the law. Maybe if something was done with people who start this stuff, none of this would ever happen. All comes back to law Enforcement and Judges

I would also like to know if they filed elder abuse charges on the people in the car? Shooting them, nah. But I have to wonder, what precipitated this?

It depends if some one used to much hair spray on the spud gun. You might surprise yourself. I oh the spud guns were so much fun.

Red Ryder BB Guns were the in thing when I was younger. You had to have one if you wanted to play the neighborhood war games.
We use to have BB gun wars ALL the time. It stung like hell when hit in the thin clothed areas.

my brother and i were the only kids with daisy red ryders. everyone else had crossman pumps. we'd always win due to the volume of bbs we could send down range

 

[2A2Dend]

Wow. My posting about the BB Gun wars got me thinking. I still have my Daisy Red Ryder from back in the day. Memories galore!

Then I got to thinking. I have my dads when he was a boy. It's a 111 Model-40. I forgot all about my having it! I wonder if I can still find parts for it. The seals are shot.

 

[kilimanjaro]

I think those seals are just O-rings, take 'em in to Ace Hardware or similar and match 'em up.

I remember making a seal with an Exacto knife and an old inner tube, back when.

The old timer should not have even displayed a gun, but now he needs to sue the bejeezus out of these kids for harassment, anguish, whatever. Parents are legally responsible for anything and everything their kids do that is a civil matter until they leave home.

Dont forget he can sue the store that sold the eggs and the egg rancher too

 

[kilimanjaro]

Good thing chickens don't have pockets or they could be sued, too

 

[Brutus57]

The correct response would have been Clint Eastwood's Garand gesture....GET OFF MY LAWN!
I hope he didn't use a nice gun. Or should have used maybe a peptobismal water balloon.

I totally agree with you but the gun owner will probably go to court and the judge will say he was insane for doing it. Then he will loose his collection. It happens to often. The average common citizens has no ideas why we keep guns, carry then, and use them as tools to protect ourselves. I am not saying the guy did the right thing at all. Hopefully the judge doesn't throw the book at him.

If the guy didn't do the right thing at all, why shouldn't the judge throw the book at him?

All it takes is a liberal judge to ask for a mental evaluation and the whole ball gets rolling into that direction. That's all I meant.
