Ex-Army Sniper Takes Out Neighbor’s Intruder From Bedroom Window
This scene will end up in Hollywood.
Boy!.. here in New Jersey they would lock that gun happy nut up for discharging a firearm within town limits. After all, how did he know they were not making a movie? You can't go around shooting up union film crews and actors. Lawyers by the dozen will be trying to get to represent the sole survivor for civil action against the 'sniper'...... Interfering with their right to pursue happiness, and assault with a deadly weapon. :eek: ( Boy! I wish that were a joke!)
Same here charges would read ~ discharging a weapon in a built up area, endangering the publics safety & manslaughter simple as that. Whether the magistrate would be lenient is another matter but he would definitely lose his guns and never hold a firearms license again.:dunno:
I hear ya' there. Not far from reality here too...Quote:

Here in the U.K. even when the Police discharge a firearm at a criminal they have to report themselves to the Independent Police Complaints Commission to investigate.
Just so everyone is aware, that website is a "satire" or "fake news" website. So, yea.
Well at least we got a consensus of what the state laws in the respective areas are and what would happen to the chap who pulled the trigger!
Let's just say that in England, his feet wouldn't have touched the ground! As for criminal charges, you'd just start at A, as in Attempt to perv at his neighbour and go through the alphabet to Z for, Zoom lens, unlawful use of!
I did have a neighbour, years ago, who thought it perfectly acceptable to shoot birds on the roof of my house and garage with his air rifle.
Pigeon pie aint that bad to eat (I've eaten Aussie Top knots a wild pigeon) tried Pink & Grey Galahs cannot say they were nice but still protein.
Living out in the sticks I would think it perfectly acceptable to shoot pigeons - anywhere! My garden is fertile on the strength of the amount of pigeons both buried therein and the carcasses of those made into very tasty wild casserole or stews. Flying tree rats we call them here
I had them when I was very young and they were done by my great uncle...I'm sorry but I can't agree that they were tasty. Must have been the look of grey meat that influenced my mind when I was young. After all the garbage that was fed to me as a serving member, I still look back and say no thanks...flying rats, yes here too. They live everywhere on the streets downtown here.Quote:

Guess it was because he did it by it's self, no pie or casserole...Quote:

I would describe pigeon as tasting and looking more like liver. The several which I've had were all road kill. Occasionally I also pick up a road kill pheasant if they can be retrieved safely such as off a quiet road.Quote:

My dad taught me these skills when I was young plus we did some survival stuff on my parachute course up in the hills but luckily we had a real butcher on my course called 'Jock' McGowan.
I'm of the opinion that unless you are prepared to butcher the meat which you eat yourself you shouldn't be eating it at all.
That's a bit like saying don't drive a car unless you can fix it yourself! :DQuote:
