So a tresspasser on your property? I would shoot them, they shouldn't be there. Anyone who should be there )ie lives on the property) Would know to be careful and announce themselves when the know someone else is target practicing.

Shooting should only apply in self defense. And the person may not be a tresspasser, jsut someone the shooter doesn't see.


ok you keep telling yourself that. The rest of us live in the real world where people can use their head to avoid accidents like this. Hence why we do not often hear about them.

Whatever. Just go and shoot people like the crazy person you obviously are.

lol. I dont own a gun. I just realize that using common sense people can own a gun, and use it for target practice in a large enough area of their own land.

You also say that people should rush to shoot anyone who sets a foor on their property.

How would you define a "tresspasser"?

You may have never been around guns. But if you have acres of land and target practice in your backyard you and anyone living in that house are aware of this and know to be careful. A tresspasser is someone who does not live on your land, and is in your backyard/house. They should not be there

Strangers should not be in your backyard or house without permission. Why would they be there? They have no reason. Most likely there to harm you or your possesions

That's sad. When I was 13 I got a shotgun and some ammo and a skeet shooter for Christmas. I've been around guns my whole life and it never crossed my mind to actually do something like this. This is but one incident, it should not raise arms to remove gun ownership. For this one incident, there are millions of obeying guy owners. If the family noticed the kid was troubled, they should have used better judgment.

Unless you're absolutely sure, and they actually try to attack you, you shouldn't shoot them. They could be lost, searching for directions, hurt etc. Plus, as I said, what if they're some sort of friends/acquaintences wanting to surprise you?

Seems to me your being a little dense here. Like I said earlier, anyone who knows you will know you may be target practicing and would anounce themselves. I typicaly do not tresspass to ask for directions, i may go to the front door or front yard, but not inside the house or backyard(as that may be dangorous as I know thta would be considered tresspassing and suspicous). So again I say anyone with common sense or thought will be fine. People do tend to use their heads when not on internet forums. Sorry if you can't comprehend that.

On that not i'm out of this thread. No more I can say if you fail to see it.
