But times twenty or thirty. Also this one time something that I'm not even gonna post here because people would say it was STDH. I mean this story is straight off your racist uncle's Facebook, but it personally happened to me. gently caress all y'all.

You look like, and likely are, a racist uncle. Therefore, I do believe you shot someone for being black.

It is very delicious and I recommend everyone go to Alaska during hunting season or wherever the hell else there's moose. Finland or something.

When I was a teenager my grandparents had a problem with deer/hog/turkey poachers coming through their tobacco and corn fields near the house. My brother and I spent every summer working on the plantation they owned and every now and then you'd hear shots off in the distance and my grandmother would call the sheriff or game warden to come out and look, no one was ever caught in the years they did this, but everytime they sent a squad car down the road it would normally keep the poachers out for a few weeks.

So one night my older brother and I (he was 17 at the time, I was 13) were asleep and we were both woken up by the sounds of gunfire very close to the house. My grand father got up and told us to grab our guns, my brother grabbed the semi-auto .22 and I took the old bolt action Winchester while my grandfather grabbed his pheasant hunting shotgun. He went out to the North porch on the house and had my brother put a pretty high power flood light toward the treeline we thought we had heard the shots come from.

A few moments later we saw a muzzle-flash right at the edge of the tree line about 150 yards away to the Northwest and my grandfather fired in the direction as a warning and told my brother and I to get down behind the stone wall in front of my grandmother's flower garden. A few seconds later we heard two more gunshots from the same area and heard one hit the tin tool-shed about 40 feet from the house, so we both (brother and I) popped up and started shooting at the area of the treeline we saw the muzzle flashes from earlier. We heard a few voices screaming "Get the gently caress out" and "poo poo" after that, then as we kept an eye out toward the Western side of the property that butted up against a paved road, we heard a vehicle moving quick, but didn't see any lights. When the game warden showed up 40 minutes later, he did a search around the property while joking with my grandpa that there was no way they'd be back anytime soon. He found a blood trail from whatever animal they had been chasing that went by the shed, which probably explains why we heard impact on it. Also found some tire tracks going through the wooded area between the tobacco and corn fields and a bunch of flattened cornstalks leading to the paved road.

My grandparents didn't have a single issue with poachers near the house since then, fwiw

1995, but to be honest there really wasn't that much change in those 145 years other than the skin colors and accents of field hands from what I've been told.

Probably. Though what's illegal and what's prosecuted out there has never been one in the same.

S'all right. Had you boys just knocked on the door earlier and asked permission we'd have probably even offered to help you. Just don't shoot in the direction of the house or the cow-pens is all. Glad none of ya'll got hurt.

I've dissuaded a few unfriendly fellows over the years by simply drawing and holding it by my side until they got the hint. I'm glad I didn't have to shoot them, and that my state doesn't have laws on "brandishing" to gently caress me over with for avoiding the shooty part.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Someone was vandalizing my punk'ns so I took care of the situation with help from TFR.

Edit: oh wait that was some psycho. I DID take the head off a squirrel with a paintball gun, though. That was pretty shocking and made me sad for a bit.
