I have plenty of squirrels in my back yard. But four feet beyond that, I have neighbors with two toddlers.
An errant shot that could kill a squirrel, could do the same to those kids.
If this was in my neighborhood, I would be beating this old man's ass for being a senile douchebag.
Don't count on it...Some of us old coots are tougher than you think...Not enough details in the story to know what the circumstances were...Except that it was at least couple blocks away...
I'll figure your fate to be well deserved.
Don't assault old men. We're too old for recreational fighting. We'll just kill you.
Have a nice day.
