So you would be okay with a guy drunk as a skunk walking around shooting a weapon as long as he doesn’t hit someone? Who was caught doing it 7 times ( and actually out there doing it countless times without getting caught).....
Punishment doesn’t fit the crime in this case. Sure, the guy ought to be fined if he is disturbing the peace, but if he hasn’t hurt anyone when shooting his gun, then why should he be locked up for a long period, or have a felony charge against him? IMHO, there is such a thing as over-enforcement of the law.There is a fine line between punishing someone before they have hurt anybody, and violating their rights.And often, it’s conservatives who don’t see that.Giving a guy the same sentence for DWI that you would get for killing someone?
I live in rural Texas, and if someone wants to get drunk at thier home (outside the city limits) and walk around firing their weapon,they won’t get caught, because it isn’t against the law as long as no one else or their property is damaged.:)
