The laser grips are on at 5 ft.

Great job. I can't believe the state police actually let you put it out of its misery.

It would be a good idea to put that phone number into your cell phone "just in case", kinda like having the local PD number in there "just in case" for a non-911 situation.

I'd say the state police trump the game commission... and even if they don't have the authority, I'd imagine that they'd take the hit for it, not the guy listening to what the cops are telling him.... of course, it's a crazy world we live in. And some game commission officers are on power trips. I got lectured for a good ten minutes about how laying a loaded rifle (with safety on and chamber empty) in the bed of a parked pickup while I adjusted my pack right before I left out would get someone killed. Give me a break. Of course, I could have layed it on the ground, road, log, etc. But, the bed of the pickup causes guns to shoot themselves.... weird. Sorry. Rant.

On another note. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it how would anyone know I shot the deer?

Exactly.

now I'm pissed!

I have been trying to come up with some smart assed, over the top response to Jim and for the life of me I can't think of one .... dammit I hate it when my sarcasm button is broke (and so is my rep button)

Good on you.

I would say you haven't dealt with the mob we refer to as government, you will geet hung out to dry and the LEO that misinformed you will be told you shouldnt do that. While the PGC comes and takes all your firearms for being honest, upstanding person.

York Co. dispatch passed it off to PSP, when I told them I could dispatch it.

PSP gave the OK, that's good enough for me.

I think you did good. There's positive and negative to not calling anyone at all before shooting the deer as well. Glad it worked out.

Good on you.

You could always bitch about him using the thread to rub your nose in his possession of a Kimber and your lack of said firearm. I mean that's the first thing I thought of when I read his story.

Unfortunately I can't argue that point... sadly it is probably true.

Used to be, a man was always allowed to do the right thing. Hard to know, any more, what free men are free to do!

A man can and should do the right thing. Just don't tell anyone about it. It's not worth the BS you will get, and you will know you done right. That's all that matters.
