On my way back from a job and.....

[darinb]

Ok, Im on way back home from a jog a few minutes ago and Im jogging in front of a school administration building and I look to my left and see a scoped bolt action rifle being pointed at me from a house across the street. There are 3 males around the back of a truck "playing" with this rifle and pointing it at the school building adjusting the scope and laughing and having a good time. To make it more crazy the house is 4 houses down from the local jail. I didn't comfront them just called the police. I just don't understand some people. Seriously just because you can sometimes you shouldn't.

Not sure if trolling.... or serious?

What do you want to bet the rifle was actually loaded...your life? Hope you were armed as well. Being that close to a jail I would hope the LEOs got to them within a couple of minutes and remedied the situation.

It was probably an airsoft gun that looked like an AK-47.

Probably safer to go ahead and fill them with lead.

Not trolling just amazed at the lack of sense they had.

So you called the police because they were stupid?

^^^This^^^

Like the local police don't have any actual policing or real criminals they need to attend to?

When I was in the National Guard (great way to get free college tuition) I used a hospital to bore sight my 105mm Main Gun. Glad some jogger didn't call the cops on me.

Pointing a firearm at anybody and at a school with kids inside and laughing about it while working the bolt and adjusting scope. Serious or not its dangerous and threating at the least. This house is 25 yards max from the classrooms. People doing things like that are one step from seriously hurting someone. I couldn't live with myself if they kept playing around and a round was fired into a classroom or myself. These guys pointed it right at me. I know its seems I broke a rule and possibly got another gun owner in trouble but I am not playing around with kids lives. Seriously this is like going to buy a rifle then go out the parking lot and point it at people and cars to check the scope and expect people to give you the benefit of the doubt??? Sorry to pee in somes cheerios. Just my .02

Fairly certain that pointing a gun at someone (loaded or not) isn't exactly legal.

So, what, are we so anti-cop here now that we shouldn't even report ACTUAL crimes?

Really? Based on the OPs description, this wasn't an even accidental sweep. It was intentional.

IC 35-47-4-3(b)
A person who knowingly or intentionally points a firearm at another person commits a Class D felony. However, the offense is a Class A misdemeanor if the firearm is not loaded.

I was first in!!!

I think you did the right thing. What if they *accidentally* left a round in the chamber? You can't exactly take that back.

What did the police do when they arrived?

That's what I was wondering. That's one show I would have wanted to see, especially if I was the one they were aiming at.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yep the police are the answer to everything. I might or might not OC an AR-15 at mcdonalds later, I'll call 911 for ya ok?

I just wanted to get in early...So what's this about? Bad LEO's? Bush sucks? Libertarians throw away votes? Muslims are trying to kill us all because are chicks are hotter than theirs? I can not wait to read the original post....
