I'm amazed here. So many of you feel that because some rectal-headgear called this or that act a "felony", the person who did whatever it is should lose some of his God-given rights for the rest of his life?! I know a gentleman who had his livestock get out of his property a few times. He always paid for any damage they did and repaired his fence, but they'd get out again. A neighbor decided to file some kind of charges (I heard the story third-hand, but I do know the gentleman involved... please forgive if the details are not exact.) The gentleman I know filed a guilty plea, only to have an old law dredged up and lo and behold, he found himself a convicted felon. After a long period of time, he finally managed to get his record cleared. Note that there was no violent action, no intent to do any harm to anyone, no damages left uncompensated... but according to some here, this man should be barred for life from being able to defend himself or his family or his livestock.
Yeah, that makes sense. Not good sense, but it makes sense.
Bill
his cattle got out!! clearly this man should not have the right to defend himself and family with a firearm. this man is a animal and deserves a lifetime punishment
