North Strabane Township Police Oppression
I have decided to edit this post to remove any case information temporarily.
To all who have expressed interest in this post, don't be alarmed. As my attorney permits, I will update this post as time goes on.

Re: North Strabane Township Police Oppression
OP how much land do you have? If you can safely shoot, it sounds like a preeemtion violation as well. So far you have made the best decesion by contacting a Lawyer. keep up the good fight!

Re: North Strabane Township Police Oppression
Invite a bunch of friends over to shoot. Do it at various times during the week and weekend. This would establish that you have been using the land for EXACTLY that purpose. Just in case the township tries to pass a "No discharge of firearms ordinance", this will establish your position that their NEW law would have no bearuing due to 'ex post facto' considerations.
An even better idea would be to broach this idea with your attorney. You're paying him, so his advice is probably worth a lot more than mine. Mine is worth every cent you paid for it!
Good luck!!!

Re: North Strabane Township Police Oppression
Update:
Good news.
The US District Judge handling the case granted only a partial dismissal of our case yesterday.
I understand that part of my claim was dismissed because I was not actually arrested thereby nullifying the fourth amendment violation. Just threatened.
HOWEVER, the case survives based on my claim of infringement of my second amendment rights. The court called the claim "Novel" (New) in that a case specifically like this hasn't been filed. I was happy to see that my "individual right" to use my firearms for "Traditionally lawful purposes" are at least being recognized to the extent that the case survives complete dismissal.
I will continue to keep this site up to date.

Re: North Strabane Township Police Oppression
Thanks a lot.
I'll update the post as this develops.
My lawyer thinks that the township may now have some implied liability because this is a civil rights case.
If they had any sense they would want to put this behind them....very, very quickly.
Just consider for a moment.
If I decided to go down there tomorrow and shoot targets, and the chief arrests me... with the search, confiscation of firearms, loss of liberty etc., that would be a whole different story.
Not only that, but nobody likes bullies...
