Indy Man Arrested While Hunting Wabbits

[DoggyDaddy]

I remember a report back in the '70s that a Vietnamese immigrant was arrested for rabbit hunting in Brookside park, in Indy.

We used to hunt rabbits just a couple of blocks from our house (in Indianapolis). Some of the best rabbit hunting I ever had! The field we hunted is now home to a license branch.

I had to look up the code (I was curious if children had to be present for it to be a felony) and found I can legally carry a firearm in my vehicle when I am dropping my son off at school! (I did not realize this before).

I hope the rabbits were worth it for this guy (But I am guessing not). Still, he had to be a decent shot with a pistol! Those things scamper like mad around here.

Cant fix stupid
But if he shot them on the run he is a good shot but still not very smart

I believe history was made with this thread, A topic about an LEO making an arrest involving taking the guys firearm and 3 pages into it no JBT comments from someone on INGO yet! WOW I can't believe it!

I thought it was against the law to sischarge a firearm inside Marion County!!

He was in Putnam county. He is from Indy.

Goes back to being informed and educated and the laws that are already on the books were enforced, no need to try and make a handful of new ones, the old ones work just fine when followed and enforced

That's stooooooopid!

Pistol hunting for rabbits is fun. Sneak up and pop them while they are sitting. Doing it on school property and hunting without a license is a special kind of stupid.

FYI: You (LTCH holder) must be driving & they can't get out of the car.

This guy must have been snorting Draino and flushed out what little brains he had left.

BS laws aside.....Maybe the man and/or his family was hungry?

Welcome to Stoopid Town. What a maroon.

What an ignoranamus.

YES, a MORON .....

Clearly, you don't remember Bugs Bunny cartoons. It's maroon.

I had to look up the code (I was curious if children had to be present for it to be a felony) and found I can legally carry a firearm in my vehicle when I am dropping my son off at school! (I did not realize this before).

The code is a bit vague, but YOU must be OPERATING the vehicle while on school property to pick up or drop off your child. Do NOT get out of the car and I would highly recommend leaving the engine running while you're waiting in line for him to come out of the school.

YES, a MORON .....

No! A Maroon

That high school is a rural school in the middle of nowhere, but is he really that dumb to discharge a firearm on school property and especially just after the Sandy Hook shootings? He is lucky he didn't get shot himself.

Yeah, I looked at it on google maps. I don't know what all is school property but from some of the trails/paths it looks like some of it is wooded/farmed right by the practice fields. I can see someone making the mistake that it wasn't school property if what I think is school property is. And a question, if a school owns property and leases some of it for let's say farming. Does the law pertaining to firearms on school property still apply? From my reading of the code I would have to say yes. But IANAL.
Google map

But either way no hunting license and most likely trespassing/hunting without permission. Although it is possible he had permission from an adjacent property owner and thought he was on that property and just parked at the school for convenience.

He was in Putnam county. He is from Indy.

I don't believe the statute passed when it was brought up 2 or 3 yrs ago. Gun rights crowd roared and the politician backed down

Even though this was rural plinking, city boys know, a baby bottle nipple makes a great silencer
