Does that mean we will have to refer to you as "Bluey" instead of "Sandy"?

As a gun owner I do not condone taking pot-shots at people or their property but you can sense the level of frustration that this person must have felt to go and do something like that.

I had a couple of young blokes near me who were doing up an old RX3 Mazda rotary a few years back and used to use my street and adjoining road as their private test circuit. They failed to see that running a rotary with no exaust at 120kph in a residential street with kids living in it as being a problem.

It was only after dozens of calls from all the persons in my street that the cops came out. It was a classic, the cops were telling us that they could not do anything unless they actually caught them doing it when down the street the dulcid tones of the high revving rotary could be clearly heard.

30 seconds later round the corner they came almost on two wheels, right past the cops. That was the last time we heard the rotary.

It was interesting though that in the next two months, my car rear window was broken twice and small items like my sports coat and CD wallet were stolen out of the car. Of course this was only a coincidence.

But Chenz, and I believe this is the crux of the thread,........you didn't shoot at them did you?

Maybe, but I tend to think he was a nut job. and maybe a shoter fuse then a gun owner needs to have. If you've got all your faculties intact you ain't going to go taking shots at someone without knowing the repucussions.

Maybe he was just such a giving person that he knew what would happen to him but he was still willing to sort the drama out for the neighbourhood so what a kind soul.

No. The only things I shoot at are ferals and then only as pest eradication or for a feed.

By the sound of things these ferals don't deserve a feed.

I agree that a person would have to be slightly unstable to take a pot-shot and this will only bring the rest of the law abiding shooting fratenrity to go through the usual "anti-gun" "ban em all" diatribe - AGAIN.

Irony is that, so far, that has not been the case.

I haven’t heard any more about it lately but even at the time, it was reported that the shooter was being questioned by police.

Now I’m pretty sure he will probably be charged with something but even the original story was reported in a way that showed some sympathy for the shooter while the news reporter went to lengths to show the ferals for what they were.

The incident had taken place in a housing commission estate and the reporter noted that the residents were in the midst of putting a partition together to get the ferals kicked out.

That in itself should say it all and at no time have I heard mention of any form of anti gun statements.

As for Dobbo I think it was intended for the "If its too loud, your too old" type......as who didn't squeal their tyres, rev their V8's during their youth.

But I feel that if you don't do something about it, two things will happen, firstly it will eat into you like a Cancer, secondly the hoons will just keep doing it in your street.

An associate of mine lost his license for 12 months after an elderly gentleman video taped him doing a huge burn out over a speed hump in his street, police matched the tape to the rubber marks and shebang your nicked...

Do whats right....heaps of empty back roads to play if they have to.

personally I would impound the vehicles for 30 days first offence, loss of license 12 months second offense,crush their cars on the third offence.

"P" platers with GenIII 6 lt V8's bit different to the mark II Escorts of my day.
