Update:
This morning at 9:30 I had a liberal. yuppie neighbor marched over while I was shooting and demand that I stop immediately. Mind you, I have been shooting here for 8 years. He then claimed that if I did not do as he said, that he was going to take a civil case out against me for disturbing the neighbors. I told him to go ..... So I called the local cops...The cop said it was fine to shoot slingshots in the county as they are not considered firearms. I asked him about disturbing their peace. He read off some legalese. Basically I was not standing out there hitting a pot with a hammer to intentionally disturb them, I was using the slingshot as it was intended to be used. He claimed the guy was 'puffing'. In any event I would not be surprised if he follows thru with a group of liberal neighbors. My Trump signs are still lingering in their minds.
Are any of you all lawyers and feel like helping me with this nonsense?
I've spent my entire life in confrontation after confrontation with peers and authority figures because I didn't fit in or go with the norm. I felt absolutely compelled to protect my rights and defend whatever I was doing or saying if it wasn't "wrong".
My father repeatedly told me that I need to learn to pick my battles. I repeatedly told him that I didn't have a choice because what I was doing/saying wasn't wrong and so I needed to defend it.
I'm 32 now and I think I would just stuff a shirt or old towel in the back of the pan/bell/etc. If anything, I think it would alleviate a lot of stress to not have to think about someone stealing my targets or pounding on my door.
That being said, I love crows and use a crow call in the afternoons to call my friends over to give them nuts. I'm sure none of my neighbors appreciate it but I try not to do it every day.
Just my thoughts.
