Title: Just another day in the city
Post by: Tom1340 on November 27, 2024, 12:35:56 AM
I live in Tulsa.  Almost every guy I know owns guns.  We are a gun city in a gun state.  But nobody I know shoots a spring gun.  I was beginning to wonder if I am alone in my hobby.  Well, not so!  Today, the local press reported a guy was using a break barrel rifle to hunt squirrels for food, in a city park, next to the children’s activity center.  When the police checked in on him, they found 6 dead squirrels in the trunk of his car.  That seems like a pretty good count, but the TV newsman reporting from the scene of the crime was hand feeding several squirrels as he was speaking into the camera.  So, maybe six isn’t so impressive.  But anyway, I now know I am not alone in my appreciation of spring guns.  Unfortunately, the guy also had 2 handguns in his trunk, and being a felon, he is now in jail and not available to go shooting.

Sounds like the guy was a bit squirrely.

Tom, you might want to wait a couple of weeks before going squirreling in that city park.  Hee hee

Some hand fed tree rat frying in the cast iron sounds pretty good right now……

If that happened in Seattle near where I live, it would be described as a "mass shooting" in the local media. But because the shooter is a convicted felon he would be immediately released from jail. Convicts and criminals are a protected class around here.
