Then I read they did arrested some poor sod with 13 -read it- 13 airgun pellets, for the same crime??
Eljefe,
If you are talking about the Cop in Ohio who threatened to shoot the permit holder for failing to inform, the officer in question is currently on suspension while the incident is being reviewed.
It is quite possible that he might not have a job to come back to.

I thought for sure that it was a centerfire bullet as the victim was still in the hospital the next day. I figured that it couldn't have been an airgun as at the very worst that would have merited an outpatient visit.

We recently had one here in Dallas where there was a shooting in an apartment parking lot. The brother in law to the man who was shot ran up and hid in the shot man's apartment, thinking that a gang was after him. He called 911 (the police) and they said officers were on the way.

The officers evidently thought that the man hiding in the apartment was the shooter or suspected him of something, so they started breaking down the apartment door. The man hiding inside was pleading with the police on the phone, telling them that goons were breaking down his door. 911/police dispatch told him that the police where on the way.

The police at the door were not told that dispatch was talking to the man in the apartment, nor did dispatch tell the man that the police where banging down his door.

So the man popped three shots through the doorway. I think one of the police was wounded slightly.

The man was thrown in jail for shooting a police officer and it was a month or more before he was turned loose, with no charges.

I thought that either the policemen or the dispatchers or both should have been the ones thrown into jail, along with the prosecutors, but surely the man in the apartment didn't do anything wrong. Goons were after him and his door was getting broken down -- did he not make a reasonable assumption that they were not police, since he was talking on the phone with the dispatcher?

I felt this was wrong, wrong, wrong, and that this man should never have been thrown into jail. If someone is busting down your door and you don't know who it is, you should have the right to defend yourself!

They also played the 911 call recordings, so you could hear the man pleading with the police dispatcher to send police officers while his door was being battered in.

Please stop wringing your hands. There is no way then can meet hundreds of airgun owners and interrogate them.
We have such a flair for panic, it isn't even funny anymore. :roll:

Most of us regulars.

How many of us have had a response, even a mail saying forms received?

Have you :wink: ?

Was that airgun PB? :D
@hamiclar01 We don't get any response after sending the form? I'm not a NAGRI member yet so I'd like to know more about this matter before I join.
When I'll get to shoot a gun?

You sound like a jilted lover.So you fill out a form and post it.It costs you nothing other than the time you took to fill it out and the postage.So why this angst.Consider it to be a token of your support to NAGRI that is espousing your cause.If you did a favour by filling out the form it is to yourself and not some one else.
