Haha That's too funny. I didn't think there was a time limit on defending livestock. Them coyotes around here only come at night. I'll blast em no matter the time.

Yea, my "visit" was due more to the circumstances of the incident rather than the shooting itself. I came home around midnight after work one Saturday to find one of my birds mauled presumably by my neighbors cat (again). My neighbors were having a Bon fire with friends and family and as I walked around the side of my house I saw their cute little white kitty cat (who they cannot seem to keep on thier property) prancing around to the side of my place where my coops are, I'm guessing to finish his dinner. I yelled to the neighbors "you better get your cat" they responded with "it's not our cat" (which I knew it was) [fast forward 2 minutes]... After being struck Fluffy managed to run all the way back to her owners house and died peacefully next to the bonfire with friends and family by her side... The sheriff showed up 20 min later!


Oh, BTW the Walther is SPM!

Good on ya man... If it wasn't their cat, I guess it was one of them feral strays and needed to be put down!!

I'm glad that I could brighten the day for you guys. I thought about the suppressor thing but I'm really not in to all of the paperwork and having Uncle Sam knowing about anything that I have. In addition, it was not the sound that prompted the call to Carroll County's finest... It was the fact that the little sh** managed to make it back and die at the feet of its owners. Now I use a 150# crossbow which after impact it usually goes through and sticks in the ground which does not allow for any retreat.


As for the time limit: there is no time limit on defending any property against anything. This was just something that he said to put me on the defensive which I corrected him on. He also asked "do you even have a permit for this" which I also explained that I did not need on my property (I have one of course).


After he realized that he was not going to put me on the defensive, scare me, or play bad cop with me, him and I had a pleasant conversation whereas he asked nicely if I would not shoot them in the middle of the night. I agreed not to use a gun to do so, that I would keep the crossbow handy instead but that I was not going to stop dispatching them. Now keep in mind this was not the first or the last neighborhood critter that has met his fate in my front yard but this is the only one that has managed to gain the attention of law enforcement.


The difference between a "pet" and a "pest" is determined only by which side of the fence they are on!

I love it. Those Darn Freakers at the Carroll County Sheriff Dept are always trying that crap. I had it out with a Detective on the phone about how my wife was treated on a traffic stop. They had no reason to pull her over and I give him what for. After that phone call for a month straight a Sheriff car would ride past my house every day and bump his siren. They peeve me off....
