This wasn't a hunt. This was shooting elk in a field. Quite a bit different than wandering off in the woods, but I can see what you are saying. I checked things out before hand, toured the property, conversed with the landowner on multiple occasions. Did my homework, or so thought. Yeah, it did backfire somewhat. Live and learn.
Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize you personally. I just like to have a little more assurance of my safety from either the structure of a range, great distance or a personal relationship when it comes to firing lethal weapons. But maybe your shoot was about as controlled as a range.
You know what, you do you. You have zero good stories.
You aren't on a lube thread.
This is understandable and I would want the same.
You must be a lot of fun at parties.
Sounds like you established a personal relationship with them.
You mean at the make-your-own-silencer and Tupperware party?
That's Boromir!
No one your street gang would tell the Man about illegal activity! Snitches get stitches - am I right?
Why are you complaining that someone followed the law, and then labeled them as a secret narcotics officer?
The prosecution is up to the local DA.
It could be easy to get a felony, but after reading hundreds or rap sheets, it's not. You will typically see numerous, often ten or more felony arrests that are plead out to misdemeanors or dismissed (I understand and of course defend innocent until proven guilty but if you work in law enforcement long enough you know in nearly all of these cases you are dealing with a guilty person). Then they get into prison and commit multiple felonies that the DA's don't bother filing.
Someone puts you in a position without your knowledge that could hinder your ability to engage in the activities that you love most and you're just gonna roll with it? Better a narc than a cuck I guess
Good question. In many locations, for decades, first offenses (well, actually, the first time someone is caught) allow for diversion for nearly every drug offense. Yes, it can be a felony, in reality (at least where I worked and from talking with LEO's from around the country) it's just usually not. Someone is likely to fight a felony. This causes a lot of work for the DDA, possibility of a loss (their win/loss record is important) and now they are busy preparing for this trial instead of pleading out several dozen other cases. Again, they can be a felony, and most of us agree they should be, just not the way it often plays out.
Like I said, You were a taddle tale and they took your toy and put it in time out.
Because if the bad guy gets caught, (likely) then you become an accomplice without other evidence. Secondly, the bad guy can get away with it and keeps poaching which hurts the honest peoples opportunities to harvest game.
