Thread: Farmer lying about paper road?

Me " Hey is that Mr Knight - I've come to look at the scope as arranged" Reply " Just as well you spoke I thought you were trying to break in and was just about to give you a barrel " Appears in the gloom with a 12 gauge pointed at my chin. Him " Well now you are here come and have a look at the scope" Me " You know, I dont think that scope is right for me, thanks very much"
Complained to Police and signed a statement etc. then couldnt believe it when I saw him in a gun shop 12 months later buying a firearm - talked to him and he was still actively using firearms - didnt recognise me.

Now that is completely fucked. Pointing a firearm at anyone that is not posing an imminent threat to your life (could be a crim, a member of the public or even a Policeman) will see me exhaust all avenues to have them feel the full measure of the law.
