I've read this thread and I just want to say thanks to Chuck Would for sticking up for us down here. The incident took place at a controlled "pin shoot". We have a no sky set up and 20+ft berms. Thats why it may have come from the 50 yard range. Its the only way but may not have come from the range at all. Get it Terra? If not pm me and I will explain it to you. The investigation seemed to stop when the neighbor found the bullet and called police back to the scene. Thats right the police left and then returned to the home when the homeowner found the bullet. Top notch police work.
Anyway court date is set for 1/29 for a TRO. Neighbors tried to talk the town into filing and they said no way now they are going at it themselves.
G thanks for sticking up for us guys.
You may want to brush up on your reading comprehension. I was on your club's side. I said in all of my posts here:
- Your club president did something stupid by even accepting the round came from any of the ranges and even speculating about a particular way it could have.
- That as the info leaked out, it was becoming more and more likely this was a salting. Salting is defined as people who hate guns planting the round to cause harm to people who did nothing wrong.
- I was calling for a competent investigation because I want the people who did the salting to get burned. Not because I wanted to burn your club, although your club president lit the fire and stoked it pretty good.
Also Chuck didn't stick up for the club, but the club president. We stuck up for the club as everyone here knows how easy it is for people to pull this crap and don't want our clubs the subject of a 21st century witch hunt. We all knew the likelihood of this actually being a ricochet from a pin shoot was low and hence why we called BS pretty early on.
There has to be more to this story if the town is not trying to stick it to the club. By now the investigation has to be well along and some conclusions should have been reached. I wonder if those are that there are suspicious circumstances here. Otherwise the local tools, er... politicians, would have gone after the club.
If the club did anything wrong it might have been to agree too early that the round came from the club.
Agreed wholeheartedly. They were playing defense without a keeper from the second the guy opened his mouth.
