Many years ago I was sighting in a scoped black powder rifle on private land. An idiot of Miz Aidara's caliber came a-trespassing to berate me for causing his wife to have a panic attack. I graciously allowed that I was not finished and would leave when I was done. He went back in phoned in a report of a person firing a "machine gun" toward his house. The cops did not arrive while I was there, but I heard about it later from a neighbor. I determined that the next time this pussy trespassed I would hold him for the cops and have him charged with trespassing and harassment. But he never did, more's the pity.
A friend of mine recently bought 40 acres in the country with a nice house on it. I have a great place to shoot and hunt now.
At one gathering at their new residence on a beautiful fall afternoon, one guest commented on how scary it was to hear distant gun shots (neighbors out shooting I presume). The owner (my friend) looked at her and said, “It’s one of the reasons we bought the property. I can shoot and hunt on my own property any time I want. I expect many of my neighbors feel the same way.”
