OMG! I got the local paper today and I was in a rush when I first got the paper so I just kind of looked at the headlines.

Resident reports he was struck with apple when returning from church

OMG talk about your strange news headlines. It appears that There was a teen sitting in a tree and he threw and apple at the guy and hit him in the back. The man called the officers to come out and investigate and said he saw the teen jump out of the tree and run off. While the officers were there they heard gun shots , so they went to check it out . They found two teens 17 years old both with firearms. The teens said they were just shooting up in the air to run off some dogs because they were chasing the horses. One of the kids admitted to hitting the man with the apple.

Both teens were released to their parents . Ok but nothing was done about the juviniles having guns WTF???? They investigae a man being hit by and apple but let the kids just go on their merry way after the officers themselves hear them shooting and see them with the guns. This happened in the next county over not the one my brother is the sheriff in but I am just appalled.

Unbelievable.
Especially since what goes up, must come down, and someone could have been seriously hurt, or killed even.

Presumably they were released to their parents, without the guns, pending charges.

You could be right but I doubt it though. I highly doubth the guns were conviscated but I can find out. Most of the time it is printed here when the guns are conviscated.

I hate to disagree with ya Jon but I still live in the country and you can still buy guns any given Friday, Saturday or Sunday at a flea market. People don't lose thier guns for shooting if it's not in the city limits. Mostly farmers live around here and the f***ed up system here is still on the side of the hunter .

Dove season opens at noon On Monday and I'll have to keep my horses in because of all the shooting. Most of the shooters won't even be licensed.

Did I say I don't have guns? I don't go shooting up in the air at dogs though. I have a air horn I use when I need to scare something. I do have a few guns , they belonged to my grandfather and they are very old . They are locked in a gun safe.

I just divorced a hard core gun collector and hunter so I do know a little about things in my surrounding area.


But yeah you see what I mean , if you're from this area , it is assumed you have a s*** load of guns.

Oh and I never said anything about being Anti gun I just thought the guns should have been seized and most of the tme when they are it is included in these reports. Juviniles were the ones with the guns in this case.

This just proves what a constant danger fruit trees are to the general public. I am glad your "on the ball" local newspaper has highlighted this all too serious threat to our well being. When are the authorities going to do something about this? One can only assume they'll get their arses into gear when someone is seriously hurt by -for instance- a falling pear!
This state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue.
