Got Shot At Lately?

Prosecutors in LA announced today they were dropping charges against a man
arrested for firing a shotgun in the air as Gary Klein went by in his bass
boat. Seems there were no witnesses and no physical evidence so they are
dropping the charges. This happened during the Bassmasters Classic last year -
during practice, I guess since Klein was alone.

Seems the guy was upset about boats running by his place on the bayou and all
his neighbors supported him.

What do you think about this?

Scares me. When I was fishing club events in Minnesota one venue was
Lizzie-Crystal-Rush. One of the channels had a angry old man that would
stand and stare at us as we went through the no-wake zone by his place. I
would hate to have him think he could get away with shooting over peoples
heads. You can bet that a-hole in LA is bragging to his buddies. BASS may
want to stay away for a few years. See how the county like the lost revenue.
Too many idiots like to copy cat stupid
dangerous things. IMHO!

Unfortunately, that means the idiot with the gun wins - that is exactly what he
wants - no bass boats on his water!

Unless Shotgun Boy (and his neighbors) own the lake and access to it,
tough. Cowboy up and realize you have a camp on the shoreline. But I'll
admit it's a fine line. I don't mind a boat going by in front of my camp
at a reasonable distance from shore. But close up?...I'd appreciate a
slow speed and no profanity, whether youngsters are around or not.

I lived in Cali for 14 years, A shotgun or any other firearm in your
possession on or in a park or public access land is a felony. unless it is
your property you have no right to carry a fire arm. The few Concealed
permits that are given are just that concealed. If they are exposed for any
reason other than life threatening conditions you can still be arrested.

Something doesn't seem right about the story. Not saying that it didnt
happen, But doesnt seem right.

Hmmmm..... I must not understand then. I thought it was legal to wear a
sidearm in non-incorporated areas in Ca.

In California, you can wear a gun in unincorporated areas. You can have a
shotgun or pistol in the car, but the gun has to be cased and maybe only the
handgun in a locked case (softcase is OK). You can carry a gun in your
boat, otherwise the duck hunting in the Sac Delta would be hard to
accomplish. That said, maybe the guy was POed about all the bass fisherman
traveling 70 mph in a 5 mph no wake zone. Been out fishing the delta when
the fog is so thick you can only see 50' and hear some bassboat guy
traveling 40-50 mph. If he kills himself is sad for his family, but the
problem is the take out some innocent person. Just because you drive a
Bullet, does not mean you have to run WOT at all times.

The Zodiac killer loved that law, lol...
