In the freer states, it is hardly uncommon for patriots to take advantage of their own property to memorialize the days when they set up target practice.
That was, of course, before the infamous “Take All your Firearms to the Nearest Large Body of Water for a Boating Excursion” day.
Alas, the casualties of that fateful day are uncountable.
Gasp! A free man shooting in his own back yard?
We can’t have that! Fire!
He was standing on his head at the time.
We’re not talking about shooting on a rural piece of property. We’re talking about shooting up your backyard in urban Baltimore. And people are surprised that the cops reacted badly when confronted with an armed man in a crime-riddled area?
I don't know, that's why I asked. I have heard that some organs are valuable, however. :)
I don’t call that “reacting badly”.
I call that an attempted execution.
Shoot first, ask questions later should NEVER be defended or excused.
