Devon Fox Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I was having a sneaky smoke in the back garden earlier, and a laser gun site just zeroed on me, i also have found platic pellets in the garden, i think they might have been shooting at my cats, the little ********. Would you a) phone the coppers and get them dropped in the ****e big style? or option B ) go and have a rant at the parents? They are probably about 11 - 12 years old, but i am frigged off big syle, i have kept some of the pellets in an evnelope to further my complaint, parents are such bone heads giving these kids guns. Would like to canvass your opinions before i sort the scoats out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Not sure as I would involve the police, at least until you have spoken to the parents. If they are ok, they should sort it out calmly without too much fuss. Sometimes kids don't even think about what they are doing, I was a little **** when I was that age and really didn't realise that it could be a problem! Maybe even give them a chat on gun safety if you think there's a chance they'd listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Fox Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Parents can be a bit funny when it comes to their offspring! I would like to dangle the little ***** upside down out of a window ..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Don't bother with the cops, you will be wasting their precious time. have a chat with the parents. Chances are they haven't got a clue what the little brats have been up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Give them a break. The rozzers go mad for this sort of nonsense and it is only nonsense with no real harm done. Grass them up to their parents and if the parents don't (1) say sorry (2) get the kids to say sorry and show some respect, then go ahead and phone plod on the basis that they had their chance.

Wookie Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hehehehe Nice idea and something that has a certain ring to it. Reminds me of the time I was out shooting in the paddocks. Took a shot at about 30m at a bunny in the field, got it and then walked to collect it. got there, picked it up and turned around to find an arrow sticking out of the ground. I may be slightly dopey sometimes, but I would have noticed one there before taking the shot and also whilst walking up to it. Seriously, less than a meter away from me too. So, I told my landlord, who told the police, who took the arrow and, from the directions I gave them, found the kids in question and then gave them the arrow back with a "Try not to do it again" lecture. If I had had any sense, I would have gone round myself and shouted at them, but I had to live there, so it's probably best. I still get the fear when I think what might have happened if I had been standing three feet further back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 It wouldnt be right to envolve the Police until you have at least given the parents a chance to sort the matter out. I would knock on the door and explain to the parents the situation. Depending on the recption, explain that all though BB guns may be seen to be toys, they infact can be dangerous. Also that a misunderstanding of them may lead to other complications if they then end up with an airgun etc. Of course, if the parents turn out to be the ral issue, then the Police should be involved if you have certain proof of the kids shooting at your cats.

magman Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 and a laser gun site just zeroed on me good job it was away from your eye,s mate the laser would do more damadge than the bb gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hotshot, another way of looking at this would be to talk to the parents, and explain whats happened then offer to teach their kids safe gun handling and practices, thia could lead to them going to the range with parents therefore encouraging a better relationship with them and the parents, this could have an ongoing effect through the neighbourhood and you find yourself developing skills as an instructor of firearms and safety. just a thought ,,,,,or you could take em round back and kick the snot out of em .
