By profession and calling, I try to look for the best, but expect the worst from people, and am rarely surprised. I'm mostly saddened that the Urban Gang 'No Snitch' Culture has apparently penetrated so deeply into the shooting and hunting fraternity. And 'proof texting' God's Word, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her" is used as justification for ignoring or enabling bad behaviour (sin.) Please read on to John 8:11 where Jesus told the lady to "leave your life of sin." So what would YOU do given these senarios?: 1. You're at a gun show, notice an unattended table, and see a guy slip a Colt SAA into his satchel. Friend of the owner? His gun? Do you 'have all the facts?' Take it upon yourself to 'investigate' or let those with the power and authority to do so figure it out? 2. Your neighbor on meth has two dogs chained in the backyard without shelter, water or food? 3. You witness a woman hit her 7 year old with a closed fist in the aisle of Wal-Mart? 4. You're concerned about inappropriate touching by a deacon in the church day care? 5. This one is like a thousand time different but IT HAPPENS. Your favorite niece, 12 years old, daughter of your drug addict sister, calls you from 5 states away because mom's new boyfriend told her he want to have sex with her. Call the authorities? Drive over and shoot the guy? My goodness, compared with what I see every day, shooting bats is pretty meaningless. And each of us gets to decide where we draw the line past which we'll intervene (actually law enforcement, teachers, and medical workers have a legal 'duty to report' abuse or neglect of children and elderly.) Jeff: I haven't lost a minute of sleep over this, and you shouldn't either. Can we go back to talking about doubleguns now?

Such a small thing to get so mandated over - don't you think?

I'm shocked by all the h0unds of the pant leg sniffers. Things must be lacking to swim about in the chum with such glee!

Good sermon, Doc. I still think you're out of line.

That's perfectly fine Jack-guys can choose to draw their lines at different places and still enjoy talking about doubleguns together. I doubt if very many of us are here for respect and affirmation from the other participants.

Doc, I think you have a line with action that is harmful to people directly or indirectly and cruelty to animals( I dont mean hunting or shooting). I would add action that is both unlawful(the state) and against God's law. Getting a govt agency involved in someones life for something that isnt covered by the above is troubling to me. Sometimes the govt makes mistakes and most govt employees are carrying guns now. Before you scoff at my remarks think about Ruby Ridge and Waco. Getting a govt agency that carries guns involved in someones life shouldnt be done lightly. Respectfully, Ross

What a tempest in a teapot! I shoot starlings, barn pigeons, and I would shoot bats if I needed to reduce an infestation. Bats can be particularly troublesome, disease carriers, smelly, and unsanitary droppings. Give Jeff a gold star and move on! David

I do admire this Renegade for standing up for what he thought (thinks) was (is) right. I do feel bad that he got snitched on for providing his real identity on this board. Best take it easy on RevDocCasa as he is very valuable member of this board.
