Brownsburg Stray Rounds

[amboy49]

Just watched a TV news story on Channel 4 (CBS) regarding stray rounds fired in Hendricks County near Brownsburg that penetrated residential dwellings. I predict this will not bode well for future rural shooting on private property. I am curious if anyone caught the same news story and if there is any proposed activity regarding restricting firearms use in the county ?

My apologies if this has been discussed in another thread.

If you click here the guy building the range is on INGO and you can catch up on the other side.

Edit: Changed the link to the first page. And sorry I didn't mean to imply that, just the fact it's in the thread.

I'm not the person shooting the ladies house. Let's make that clear.

Sounds like the work of ISIS to me. We'll need a full scale Dept. of Homeboy investigation to rout out these "terrists".

Perhaps easy to make light of this issue until politicians see fit to abolish any "rural" private property shooting in Hendricks County. Disclaimer - I am not a Hendricks County resident. Once a precedent is set I can envision other highly populated counties following suit. And then not so highly populated. (See Parke County). Call me paranoid or pessimistic if you will - I believe history will reveal I am more of a realist.

Not a joking matter, fellas.

This is serious.

I read this article in the Hendricks County Flyer. There is a pic of a 30 cal rifle bullet trapped between 2 window panes. How does that happen that a bullet that size would stop in a window pane?

A .30 cal trapped in a double pane window? Sounds like it's coming from quite a distance away if it was stopped by a double pane window.

Edit:: Just read the story. Two miles?! Wow! Sounds like someone needs to reassess their range.

It sounds like the Sheriff may be in favor of not allowing people to use their property as they see fit even if it doesn't endanger others.

Does he have a say in the matter?

No, but as an "expert witness" he may have quite a bit of sway with the powers that be.

I can not see getting trapped either. Set-up maybe.

Or their drinking habits.

When he was running last year I checked out his website, not a word about the 2nd Amendment. By contrast, his opponent (also republican) Steve Wagoner went out of his way to voice his support of the 2nd Amendment. The people got what they voted for.

I imagine they picked up the bullet and set it in the broken window frame for a photo opp to show the damage it caused.

maybe the panes are "magic glass" but I'm sure that old rusty bullet didn't plant itself there or get kicked up by a lawn mower.

Hopefully there will be more to this story

Many years ago,there was a similar "problem" that hit the courts in Oklahoma-----the lady said that "someone"(later found to be an old boyfriend)was shooting at her house-----she provided "evidence" that was found on her property (later found to be bullets her father brought home from WW11)---------she had a kid shoot her house with arrows,removed then replaced with the WW11"bring-back bullets"---------------she won the case against the guy------2 years later the kid spilled the beans--she was fined for "false testifying",but the ban on shooting in that county was never lifted
Once its "on the books",its hard to remove......

No worry's with the new and current sheriff. He is GTG on anything 2nd amendment even though he did not mention it during elections. Probably no mention because Hendricks is very pro 2nd minus some of the newer city dwellers that have moved out here. They are still way out numbered.
