Man arrested for using air rifle at Auckland beach - National - NZ Herald News
:wtfsmilie:, why would anyone complain to the police? He was shooting safely (but foolishly) by the sounds of it. Even so, he should have known better. Now he does. Two dumb idiots don't make a right!
Not the brightest thing to do at a beach.
And to think my old man used to sit on the beach at Lake Ferry with his Remington Targetmaster and shoot holes in the big black rubbish bag that had just taken his longline out on the breeze, it was the only way he could think of to lower it into the water. Fifty shots seemed to do it. Must be a lot of lead on that top coast of the South Island!:thumbsup:thems was the good olde days, probably had a few beers beside him as well!
1 - Regional park so no shootingQuote:

3 - Given the location described he will have been close to the public carparking area at the north end of the beach. It is a popular beach this time of year.
Oh Barefoot your being pedantic HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :ORLY:
:yaeh am not durnk: Over the years I have spent a lot of time on that beach, and it is just a stupid place to be using anything, even a shangai.
On a sunny Saturday there will have been a lot of people here.
I got the picture - thanks. Well that makes him just that much more dumber! I hope he doesn't have a firearm licence - I wouldn't want to be out in the woods when he's out there.
He was probably sighting in to poach pigeons in the waitaks anyway ;)
mmmmmmmmmmmm Pigeon Pie :P
Whoops that just slipped out! ;)
Cheers

Perhaps, but knowing the area, correct. :thumbsup:Quote:

As a race / nation we have become pathetic , compared to the good old days , people use to be responsible for their own actions , and we where not all dumbed down and treated as criminals .
