Duck season starts next week here then duck season runs into deer season so riding is probably over untill who knows when now. But cold wet season is starting here so ridings pretty much done anyway.

ok, I knew i said I wouldn't post here any more, but couldn't help it.

 

"Secondly, you live in one of the top 10 liberal states in the country. I am willing to bet your piss-poor judgement of shooting at that guy's vehicle was a felony. You were not in immediate danger, had no need to defend your life and therefore were NOT justified in discharging a firearm."

 

OK, in wyoming we have laws that are referred to as "cattle rustling" laws. If you own a running cattle ranch (which we do) you have the right to "do anything in your power to maintain and protect your livelyhood, if threatened... by, any person or persons that could be considered to be cattle rustling" By said persons TRESPASSING on very very clearly marked PRIVATE property which is considered by the state to be 1. a Cattle Ranch. and 2. a Fish Preserve (which is FEDERALLY Protected) it was within my power to disable said persons vehicle, since it posed a danger to my family's livelyhood since No. 1 he crossed two privately owned streams (which we have original water rights on) wich feed into fish preserves. and No. 2 his intentions could not be clearly established as to what he intended to kill. (cattle, deer, elk, antelope, etc)

 

The case has been taken to court, and the judge ruled in MY favor. I was NOT charged with any type of felony for discharging my weapon. The sheriff who did the initial investigation stated IN COURT that was "within my rights to fire on the defendants vehicle". Additional charges were brought against the person for "attempted contamination of a body of water which is used for or feeds into a fish hatchery, or fish preserve" added to the charges stated in a previous post.

 

You are being pretty silly about all of this. You don't know the entire circumstances of what happened, and are making assumptions. I appologize for any comments I might have made about your skill as a shooter or your intelligence for the calculations you might or might not have made prior to your posts. I think I am done going back and forth with you. I will let you have the last word, so you can feel like you are the winner. lol

Basic rule of thumb when dealing with internet conversations/arguments; when someone says he is not going to post in that particular thread again, he will do exactly that at least 1 more time (probably two). :P

 

 

Ok, so you either got an anti-hunting judge, or a very conservative one who favors boundary laws more than hunting priviliges. Either way, you got lucky as you in no way were justified to discharge your firearm as there was no imminent or immediate danger. I think you know this whether you want to admit it or not. It went in your favor, so I guess it doesn't matter at this point. Granted, if I were the hunter in question, I wouldn't trespass to begin with. However, if someone opened fire on me for a similar "reason" rest assured I would return the favor post haste.

 

You think i'm being "silly" about all of this, and you're entitled to that opinion. It is my opinion that when people go to extremes when they aren't warranted, they do more harm than good. Yes, he shouldn't have trespassed on your property. No doubt. But if the media ever caught wind of that, I assure you, you would have paid the price with the ensuing bad press and would have been labeled everything from a gun-toting hillbilly to a terrorist. That's the world we live in, unfortunately. You say I don't know the particular circumstances of what happened which is true....because you didn't post the entire story. All I had to go by was exactly what you posted. And you have to admit, by your original post on the subject, it made it seem like you shot at the guy and held him at gunpoint for trespassing until law enforcement arrived. You mentioned nothing about the laws of your state, etc. Add to that the fact that we are on the internet and you can see how this can get out of hand quickly.

 

You don't have to appologize for underestimating my shooting abilities and calling me a liar. Since you did, though, I accept your appology. I am a Grand Master-level marksman which is something you don't find every day at the range. So, when someone claims to be that, it can be hard to believe. I understand that. My calculations are spot on as far as my triple tap times and that slide cycle times are much faster than 3/10s of a second. That can easily be proven as there are hundreds of websites that have frame-by-frame videos of this exact thing. One of Jerry Miculek's world records is 5 shots on target in half a second from a .38 revolver. Another is 60 rounds out of 10 revolvers at one target in 18 seconds.

When you see world calss shooting like this, it makes me look slow by comparison.

 

Anyway, I see in another thread you support Bush so I suppose you can't be all that bad. ;)

Here is an article snippet on Bob Munden, another world record speed shooter...

 

"His fast-drawing abilities have astounded audiences world wide. Munden's fastest time, officially recorded in New York by Guinness Book of World Records representatives, is a one and three-quarters one hundredths of a second

Yup, Bob is amazing!

 

We typically shoot our handguns out to 200 yards. Many people think handguns aren't accurate at that distance, but they're more accurate than the shooter most of the time. It's not that the gun isn't accurate, it's just that the shooter doesn't have the trigger control and proper sight alignment to make accurate hits at that distance. I find shooting handguns more fun than rifles for this very reason. Hitting a basketball-size rock at 200 yards with a handgun is far more gratifying than hitting it with a rifle.
