Shot at while anchored

My god Keith, you must be dumber than a rock. I just said I have a copy of the thread. This quote proves what?? The home owners didn't like the guy on shore by their houses firing either? Duh
Back to the reading comprehension 101……Did he shoot at the hunter?
Guys……I’d send the JA my number in a heartbeat if he had PM….but being the cheap, crude person he is makes it a bit of a problem. Many others on this board have it, send it to him, I always answer….I could care less. I deal with idiots all day long, one more would be refreshing. I think he likes being beat on as do most sick people.
I’ll erase my posts shortly…..and you are right speedo, and thanks. I thought wife comments were truly out of bounds and there would at least be a bit of support because of that…apparently not. Might be yours next time.

"You guys kin to Bill Clinton?"
You start the heavy drinking early this morning?
You weren't there....unless you saw it while passed out. I wasn't there. There never was mention of "shooting at" anyone untill you injected it. That's not "spin", its a fact."

Kurt it sounds like you have quite a bit of fun out on your boat. When can we hang with you ? 
If someone lands shot on my boat, I act immediately and return fire. Can I be exhonerated? I think so. Why? I had no time to think. I had to react. Idiot on shore was dropping shot on my boat and it could injure me.
Only an idiot would think someone could get away with shooting in their direction and it would be legitimate. If the shot lands on your boat, you can be injured. Suppose it hit you in the eye? Maybe it goes in your ear?
Anyone who sides with the hunter belongs in England where an umbrella is considered a weapon.

Castle doctrine popular defense
Law allows citizens to use force to protect property

A man is strangled to death in a Colleton County home. Another is gunned down outside a West Columbia house. A third is grazed by a bullet as five rounds rip through his car on James Island.
All three events occurred this month, and in each case authorities know exactly who inflicted those injuries. But so far, no one has been charged with a crime.
That's because each incident involves a citizen trying to protect his home or property, and the state tends to give great leeway to folks who use deadly force in such situations.
Authorities said that a resident of this house in Walterboro was able to get behind an intruder during a struggle and hold him in an apparent choke hold until Walterboro police arrived. The alleged intruder died during the struggle.
South Carolina is one of more than 20 states to adopt strong "castle doctrine" laws to protect citizens from criminal prosecution and civil liability if they use deadly force to repel an intruder.
In 2006, state lawmakers codified the doctrine, greatly expanding its scope to apply in places other than someone's home. The law now covers store owners defending their businesses, drivers fending off a carjacking and campers confronting unwelcome intruders in the woods.
Advocates argued that the change was necessary because of escalating violent crime and the need to protect innocent victims from facing murder prosecutions. Former state Attorney General Charlie Condon, for one, contended that the law has a been a boon for law-abiding citizens and a great deterrent to criminals.
"I would err on the side of homeowners at all times, and that's what authorities should do," said Condon, who drew national attention in 2001 by declaring an "open season" on home invaders. "I think the message should be clear: If you are going into someone's home to hurt somebody, don't expect the law to protect you."
Opponents counter that wide-ranging castle-doctrine laws like South Carolina's encourage vigilantism and create a dangerous culture of shoot-first and ask questions later, even in the face of minimal threat.
This places not only criminals in jeopardy, they argue, but innocent bystanders as well.
"Where we have a problem is when you take it outside the home and put it in a public arena," said Brian Malte, director of state legislation for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
"It's very problematic, not only because it is giving a license to shoot someone in public, but you are also giving them legal and civil immunity for any sort of shooting that arises as long as they feel threatened," he said.
Deadly force
South Carolina's law is back in the spotlight after three incidents this month. The first occurred in Lexington County, where a West Columbia homeowner shot and killed a man he caught breaking into his truck on Feb. 14. Authorities declined to prosecute, saying the shooting was in self-defense.

Dan...the umbrella IS a weapon. In London a few decades ago, the Bulgarian secret police stabbed several people they did not like with poison tipped umbrellas, and they died.
