Kingsville, Maryland – A Biden supporter on Saturday was arrested and charged for firing a shotgun at 2 Trump supporters driving by his property.
The Biden supporter, 50-year-old Douglas Kuhn, was reportedly putting up a Biden 2020 sign on his yard when a father and son drove by in a truck with Trump 2020 flags and honked.
Douglas Kuhn became enraged, grabbed his shotgun and discharged his weapon.
The Trump supporters, Neal Houk and his son, Bradley Lang, sped off and called police.
According to reports no one was injured and the truck was not damaged.
WBALTV reported:
Trump supporters Neal Houk and his son, Bradley Lang, called it a neighborly act, a friendly honk to a Biden supporter they spotted putting up a Black Lives Matter sign.
“It’s Kingsville, it’s a friendly area. Everyone honks at each other. We think we were hoping there could be some civility between people who support different candidates,” Lang said.
Police said Kuhn picked up a shotgun and discharged it as the truck drove by. The victims drove to a safe location and called police. No one was injured and the truck was not damaged.
“We were looking right down the barrel of a shotgun,” Houk said.
“He picked up a shotgun from near his feet and ran towards us aiming it and we got 100, 200 feet down the road, he began to fire,” Lang said. “We were scared, although we were happy that he missed, the truck was missed and we were alright.”
Kuhn allegedly initially told everyone that he had a shovel, not a shotgun in his hand. There are witnesses who say otherwise.
Police arrested Kuhn and charged him with first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and using a firearm in the commission of a crime. Police said officers confiscated two firearms from Kuhn’s property.
The judge assigned to the case was furious and scolded the shooter.
“How did it get to the point where he pulls out a shotgun? What has the world come to? This is beyond belief. Free speech. Why resort to weaponry. This could have been horrible,” Baltimore County District Court Judge Philip Tirabassi said during Monday’s bail hearing.
“I would never think — especially in Kingsville — that anyone would be violent about this situation. We all play nice here. It is America,” Houk said.
“He obviously has his political beliefs, as he showed with his signs. We were expressing those same rights, and he attacked us for that,” Lang said.
Kuhn was ordered to serve home detention until his next court date.
Anybody else reminded of when Biden had advised women to use a shotgun (rather than an AR-15 or the like)?
Another bellwether. It’s only going to get worse.
Honking? There’s a good reason to attempt to murder someone. /sarc
“It’s only going to get worse.”
I’m afraid you’re right.
Had THEY been the shooters, this would have been national breaking news for two weeks.........................
“Another bellwether. It’s only going to get worse.”
Yep. Best be ready. Mrs and I were at the range Saturday again, this time with a friend. Rifles and pistols from 25 yards to 200. Crappy conditions, too. Low 40s, rain, and a 30 mph wind made things interesting.
Then a couple rounds or trap to keep the wing shooting skills sharp. Mrs beat us both.
Twice.
I love that woman.

“Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun”
Fire two blasts into the air”
- Biden
Biden wants to confiscate our AR-14s. Good thing I don’t have one.
But, they was only gonna shoot them in the legs like Biden said they should...
Even worse advice from Biden:
VICE PRESIDENT Joe Biden told Field & Stream magazine in an interview published Monday, “[if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.

I’m ready Freddy.
Biden: "Fire Two Blasts Outside the Door-Buy a Shotgun...Buy a Double Barrel Shotgun!"
I laugh my butt off every single time...never gets old!
Why did he have a shotgun handy?
That part is bit bizarre.
I could imagine a pistol, but a shotgun?
The Biden supporter had a shotgun with him when installing his Biden/Harris sign.
Trump guys rode by, honked at the guy.
He shoots, and misses the TRUCK with the shotgun.
Maryland Freak-State Man is gettin jealous over all the attention lavished on Florida Man/Woman.
Hmmmm. Can't decide if it's "fishy" or "funny". Mebbe both!! d;^)
Biden is so impressed with himself..
“Why did he have a shotgun handy?”
Perhaps the Trump supporters were lingering longer than the story suggests?
