It's not my job to tell people what they should wear to hang clothes. :-)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, as someone who grew up around guns, the FIRST lesson that was drummed into my head was to NEVER EVER fire at anything I couldn't identify, and NEVER EVER to shoot where I knew people would be. A housing development is NOT a good place to shoot because you can reasonably expect people to be there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642929222753173260.post-3812754145153117652008-12-14T10:37:00.000-05:002008-12-14T10:37:00.000-05:00I am talking about civil law being better than cri...I am talking about civil law being better than criminal law.<BR/><BR/>The legal liability of hunters being responsible for property damage or accidental death of their victim (in other words, hunters interfering with the rights of individuals) will do more to protect unintended targets than general public laws specific to hunting. In other words, an arbitrary law telling hunters to stay 150 yards or 1,000 yards away from buildings is not the optimal way to balance the desires of hunters and the safety of the general public. However, holding hunters responsible for property damage will, and has. The threat of legal action from the victim, not the state, makes us safe. <BR/><BR/>I can’t sue a hunter for shooting a deer within 150 yards of my house, but I can sue the hunter for shooting my window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642929222753173260.post-59210702748667328682008-12-14T00:04:00.000-05:002008-12-14T00:04:00.000-05:00"At the end of the day, I am against hunting but I..."At the end of the day, I am against hunting but I think that hunters using their common sense and being subject to legal liability for any damage that they cause will do more to protect unintended targets than a law will."<BR/><BR/>Please explain to me why this makes sense. To my uniformed mind, it seems you are suggesting that legal (read: constructed by law) liabilities are better than laws.
