P. S. The *neighbor* left fireworks at my front door twice Wednesday night, after the police contacted him to give him some *advice.*
You can take the resident out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the resident!
Hay Y'all.
I'm the crazy HOA lady that called the police. I'm not sure who I was more mad at ... the drunk with the gun, or the cop that was totally uninterested in the whole ordeal. At any rate, the whole episode was unnerving to my guests and I, during our Thanksgiving celebration.
Let me clarify one thing, Fishing Addict. I'm all for adding a rule in the Neighborhood Covenants (since they are being re-written) that reads: No Hunting in the 'hood. Why? Apparently it isn't forbidden (according to the city cop). However, I feel sure the current Prez doesn't have the 'nads, ummmm I mean fortitude, to confront or risk offending a resident --- especially if they are in the wrong.
Secondly, I searched our city's Municipal Code, and found the laws to be lacking. The only law on the books about the gun, had to do with it being fired. I checked around, and if f I wanted to pursue it, these could apply: reckless endangerment, public drunk while in possession of an offensive weapon, criminal trespass with the intent to commit a crime... to name just a few, but what the heck do I know. It's not a crusade for me; besides I am pro-guns when handled safely.
So since the HOA cares not, and the city police do not want to get involved, I'll just load my pistol for the next time. Any idiot who will do something like that once, will do it again.
"Shoot the neighbor, put some horns on his head, call the police & tell them you thought it was a deer," was the best advice I got.
You gonna bail me out, neighbor???
Better yet .... you wanna put this in the newsletter????
If he would have turned and shot her then both of your problems would have been solved....
That's cold, I know...........Sorry....
I dont blame the lady for being upset and the drunk guy needs to go to jail. I agree though, she dont need an ordinance passed because I would think there is a law already for idiots like this guy.
rayzmom91, something that getsme when i am reading this who thread...how in the world did you know it was a 38? And the slurred speech?? Is the dude you saw a neighbor that is known for being a drunk because a doe is a doe. "Will not believe how big it was"??? Sorry but some thing do not make any sense, or common sense that is. Your last name is not Slusher is it??
Did this deer ever get killed or did it eventually die of old age?I just got an e-mail from someone in my nieboorhood (I'm on the newsletter committee).
The lady was having dinner with several guests when they saw a large doe run across the yard.
Well, several of them ran out to take a look at the grand creature. And they saw the nieboor running across his yard with a .38.
The lady ordered him to stop, as he was aiming the weapon right at the deer, but if he missed it would hit a home under 70 yards away.
Well, the guy said "I have to shoot it, otherwise no one will believe me on how big it was!"
He said a couple of bad words and "stumbled" back to his home...he was also slurring his speach.
She called the police but he left (great, a drunk angry driver with a gun).
What was this guy thinking? The lots in the area are about 1/2 acre in size and he was drunk!
Oh yeah, that was the problem.
The woman wants to pass an ordinace agains people trespassing in other peoples yards with weapons. Im not sure why, since it's already illegal and I'd rather the police pay for fighting it than us.
I don't care about none of that, If that deer was that big back then and has not been killed can you imagine how big it is now?I am not up to date but there used to be limits on how close to roads and houses you could hunt. I do note it was a drunk and not a pothead being complained about.

Its a stupid man can only spell a word one way . Mark Twain is supposed to have said this.Hey, I'm an ADD blone partially dyslexic male that types so fast his keyboard smokes (and never proofs)... What would you expect.
Here are some other folks who could not spell:
Einestien, Hawkins, Ford, Edision, W. Wilson, Churchill, Stonewall Jackson, Alex G. Bell, Napolieon, Patton, Esiehower, George Washington...Blah blah blah...you get the point. We're in good company.
I think abilty to spell shows mental weakness...you can't think out of the box.
