Working on my property, and the next door neighbor who owns a much bigger farm was in this big barn of his, shooting a .22 type weapon. I don't know what the hell he was shooting at, but the rounds wear zipping by my head at a range of like 100 yards. They were so close I could hear them whizzing.........thinking they must've been slowed or tumbling after hitting his barn wall. In any case, I hit the dirt and start screaming at him to CEASE FIRE, YOU ARE SHOOTING AT ME AND MY HOUSE. He keeps shooting. So I call the wife on my cell tell her to get the baby in the basement, then call 911.... the dispatcher does what she does, "well, is he just being dumb or is he shooting at you" "HERE, YOU LISTEN!" and I held the phone up for her, she can hear him shooting. All the while I am yelling at this moron to STOP SHOOTING and he won't stop. "The" Deputy is like 20 minutes away (1200 square miles, ONE Deputy.... on a Saturday :roll: ) so I walk out to the road, over to the fence and scream at him again. He comes out of the barn, turns his back to me and ignores me.
Deputy confronted him, guy denies shooting at all. I've never met the guy, he owns everything in the county and is a retired cop. Well, I'm an active one, who works elsewhere. I could care less about anyone shooting small bores out here, but when they get too close they need to stop and change directions. Not sure if I should go talk to the guy or what, he'd prob trump up a trespass charge or something. If I'd shot back and hit his barn you can see where this would go.
What to do what to do.......
