Thread: What do you think and where do I stand?

Did the neighbors know you were using a shotgun and not a rifle?
Did they know that you were shooting away from them?
Did they know that it was sports shooting?
Was gunfire from the particular residence you were at an unusual event?
Do you know that the whole western world is nervous about unexplained or unusual gunshots, and that that includes the police?

You likely won't like what I have said. But I'm just giving another perspective. Given the current world situation, and an increasing violent community, we need to put ourselves in other people's shoes before we start blazing away.

I'm not surprised by the police reaction. Its what I call "natural consequences". So what if all of the police don't fully understand the firearms act. Their role is to keep people safe. Full stop.

If you weren't at fault, I expect nothing else will happen.
