i just watched alasken wildlife troopers and he said this gun took down a moose. give me a Fing break!!! they are such idiots. im sick to my stomach over that and they had to put down the calves
-
Wouldnt bug me if they just did it and didnt publisize. Its the publisizing part that makes everyone think its ethical just like the gamo pig...
-
From what I read, someone shot the moose with a pellet gun, trying to get it away from their yard. The pellet stayed imbedded and caused an infection, which slowly killed the moose
-
its all sad as *(&^
-
yes, it's sad. I don't understand why they had to put the calves down. They are really cute when they're small
-
Even if it happened, that is pretty irresponsible. Was Gamo sponsoring the show?
-
Irresponsible, unethical, and just plain disgusting.
Why in the world do they put out stuff like this to give other degenerates bright ideas?
-
no it wasnt a gamo show. it was one of them bs shows
-
I bet the Gamo people are going to go crazy about that though! Man, Gamo the moose killing gun! Even though it took probably weeks to die. And yes agreed it was messed up to put the calves down. Dont they have animal rescues? We had one by where I grew up just a fenced in area where an old lady would take orphand deer and stuff feed them till they were big then out they went. That seems more logical.
-
the cops said they called people and no one would take them.
-
^ You dont hate cops, they protect you and your children. I want to know who you would call besides them if you got robbed, or had a home invasion on your property...
-
Sure we need cops ,but this day and age I don't carry for fashion. Besides its closer to me then the phone.
-
I'll have to see if they have that show on demand on cable.
-
I understand the disgust at the way things were handled. But, we do not condone flaming here, especially for law enforcement, veterans or active duty, firefighters, rescue workers or any public service folks that put their lives on the line EVERY day for us. Don't catagorize ALL law enforcement because of something you see or hear of some individual.
Happy Shooting!!!!

guys... I served in Kuwait. I am no hero. I volunteered, got paid for it and got to defend my country. I dont expect anyone to be grateful or hold me above for any reason. All emergency personnel is volunteer or paid. All LEO are paid and they CHOOSE to be there in the front line. If my house gets burglarized, i would not know til its too late, so calling the cops would not make a difference. If i am home (home invasion), I'll call the coroner instead of the cops... no offense, but let's not bunch up everyone in athe idiot category because theose officers were not capable or had no common sense to find those calves a place to be raised. But it heats me up when i get pulled over for doing 60 in a 55, telling me that is him who has to pickup my scorched remains in case of an accident (horse @$%^) by the same guy who is sitting with me that sunday on a sportbike at the cafe telling me how he hit 170mph on this road, or this other. Dont get me wrong, they keep order and are a deterrent for random or pre meditated acts of uncivil stupidity. But in case of an emergency, i can take care of myself... And the training that all emergency personnel or LEO get is available to anyone who is willing to get it and pay for it. I don't think that was flaming, but it truly disgusted me the way that was handled.

If they tried to find a place and nobody would take them then its like the dog pound sad but what else will you do turn them loose to die slowly because they cannot tend them selfs? Cant blame the cops.
As for Burgulary, let me tell ya how that works. You call the police and they file the paper work. If they find your stuff you get it back. They question who has it and if the person with your stuff says I bought it from the friend of a friend they are free to go. I had $5000 in firearms get stolen and thats the way it works. If the person buying it asks is this stolen and they guy selling it says nope everybody is off the hook.
Home invasion, I would call on my FNP 40 with Bennelli M4 12 gage as a back up. They wont be leaving with any of my stuff and if they dont get on the ground they wont be leaving in a police car. I also carry concealed everywhere I go for a reason. 2 things you need to remember is dead people dont sue you and if you pull it you better be prepared to use it.

I agree.

As do I.
