doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Dear Admin.

I took my Ithaca 16Ga out last night & shot 6 times hitting 4 bats! I think thats the best I have ever done! I had a red label 20Ga till I got stupid & sold it, i think the best I ever did with that was 9 shots & 5 bats.

This is the original post that started it all. Let's see if I've got this straight. Some guy who apparentely none of us know makes a post about shooting non-game animals and apparentely is publicly bragging about it. This is just the type of information the antis are always looking for.
So now those of us who took exception to this are now bad guys! I think we have now entered the Twi-Light Zone. Would Rod Serling please sign in.

This is the third board I've visited this week afflicted with the "I guess I wish I were somewhere else" malady. I bet we could all find something better to talk about...how about if we declare a draw on this one? Or, how about everyone posts their last word on the subject today and no one comes back to read same? We could make much of many things but need not do it on Dave's BBS and the sun is out where I am.

May the Almighty God bring happiness and peace to us all.

And Judas was nothing less than a good citizen when he turned in that trouble maker.

Was the trouble maker breaking the law?

Well, remember King, there is right and wrong, and then there is the law..

Was our Michigan Bat shooter breaking the law?

Apparently not -

italiansxs he was shooting a non-game species, true, but same is true when people talk about shooting starlings or pigeons. Many years ago we had a discussion on here about shooting rats and mice with a smoothbore 22. I don't think anyone raised a big stink. I will have to double check the regs, but I don't remember Rats being a game animal...

I would like to see this regulation that says its ok to shoot bats. I find it hard to believe. And, for sure, one can't tell that the bats they are shooting are rabid. My dear mama, God rest her, told me bats were good things. They eat bugs.

Now, since this is the double gun forum, what is the best choke and shot size? ;-)

An insidious concept -- regulations required to define what is lawful to do.

Jakearoo: look at the original post the regs are posted there. Sorry folks When accused & TURNED IN for doing NOTHING wrong I get Mad. Sometimes it takes awhile to cool down. I will probabley stick around.
Revdocdrew:
1. Talk to the Dealer while keeping an eye on the other person.
2. Throw some food & water to them & talk to the Meth head first.
3.Extreme, but what did the kid do? Does she hit him more than once? Does she hit him or her full force?
4.Talk to the Deacon & the child first, then if it seems the correct thing to do call the heads of the Church & if not satisfied call the police.
5. He would live, but he will wish he hadn't!!
