But the road isn't his land, thats the point. He just owns land either side of the road.

They could always fence off the road and keep their stock on their own land if they're that worried about sharing public land with other users?

Of course it would be the farmers fault if they shot someone, thats pretty obvious. Target identification and safe shooting directions etc should apply regardless, but especially near roads or other public spaces.
