Run in with the law

<p>Me and a friend were up in the woods plinking. I got a rabbit and we were heading back when suddenly two pigs yell ‘Drop your weapons and step back from them’…They had a mutt. So they frisk us, etc. They say they will arrest us for a)tresspassing, b)shooting the rabbit, and c)reckless endangerment. I gave them attitude but one threatened to sic his mutt on me. So we wasted 30 minutes getting names, running checks on the gun, etc. One even threatened to call PETA (what the hell…). Finally, they take down our info and what kind of clothes, height, etc, and let us go! What an awesome piece of luck, eh? Now I don’t have anywhere to go plink, since it is not in my best interest to go back there :(. Any interesting stories or comments?</p>

<p>Edit: Yes I realize this was stupid…But I didn’t see a single no tresspassing sign, and I assumed the land was my friend’s since we go play paintball there with him.</p>

<p>Tresspassing? I like shooting as much as anyone, but only on my own place or places I have permission. That part was dumb.</p>

3

<p>*** is plinking?</p>

<p>…that’s absolutely hilarious…</p>

<p>No run ins…but a close call.</p>

<p>A friend and I were doing 100 mph in a 55 zone on the way home from picking up some food at a Dominoes. All of a sudden we see a police car by the side of the road-- but he had just pulled someone else over for speeding (The Taconic is made for going 80). Had we been pulled over, my friend probably would have had his license revoked and faced possible reckless endangerment charges. To this day I am thankful that the Dominoes guys made us wait a few minutes while they heated up our cheesy bread. :)</p>

<p>Traffic cops dont count as ‘the law’ :)</p>

<p>Your hunting friends initals weren’t DC were they?</p>

10

<p>Nope! (10 chars)</p>

11

<p>whas the point of shooting rabbits?</p>

12

<p>its fun of course</p>

13

<p>that’s like an alien saying shooting humans is fun…not cool</p>

14

<p>As long as he eats us afterwards and didnt just shoot us for the hell of it…then its fun…to him atleast</p>

15

<p>hmm, i suppose so</p>

16

<p>will it hurt?</p>

17

<p>not if your dead first…and I would hope they’d cook us. Ill be damned if I get eaten raw like a vegetable</p>

<p>Everyone I know who’s been arrested gets arrested for stupid reason. I had a friend spend a night in the drunk tank because he told the cops that he liked getting handcuffed. A guy at my high school was arrested for accidently shooting himself in the foot while trying to buy something at the vending machine. Someone in my family was arrested for being high at a car dealership, trying to buy a car without credit (or cash), and having a handgun in his car.</p>

<p>So basically, consider yourself fortunate.</p>

<p>Yea I know…First he said we would get cuffed, then he lets us go. But I gotta say they had the good cop/bad cop routine down perfectly.</p>
