Thread: What do you think and where do I stand?

How do people know that you are shooting safely on your property?

Why should people assume that you are being safe when they don't actually know? What would you suggest that the person do if not call the police - jump the fence onto your property and come over to see if everythings OK?

If somebody entered your property and was shooting on it unlawfully, would you be happy that the neighbours rang the police then? If that person was shooting at you maybe?

How would you expect them to know the difference if the shooting was not advised or was infrequent or uncommon?

The difference between bird scarers and rifle shots is that bird scarers can't kill anybody... bird scarers are not infrequent or uncommon and people expect to hear them in areas around orchards etc..

You may find less people report gun shots when there are bird scarers around...

Frankly.. you maybe would fit better in a less complex world, lower population density, less mass shootings, a lower urban and a rural population familiar with a simpler time. Or maybe you could adjust, and start being more cognisant of the time that you now live in... or just keep on shooting without thinking about the issues and see how long you get to keep your firearms for?
