Well I put my genny about 120 yards into the woods so I would not hear it. Well the folks form mass who bought the lot one over from the one my genny is on built there camp in the spring and I was busy that spring and did not get up till the middle of summer. Got in about 4 in the afternoon and fired up the genny and me and two friends got the guns out and started shooting cause that is what I do at camp. Well they fearing for there lives thinking a tank and a army of armed hillbillies was about to ruin there life called the police who in turn called the wardens. About 8 pm 2 cruisers showed up then a while later one warden. They came over to my camp and asked what we was doing and I told em we where just up to camp for a few days. He asked why we where shooting I said cause that is what we do here. He asked what was running in the woods I pointed at the porch light. Well I also knew the other le and this guy was ok the other guy came back from the flatlander camp sayign they said we where driving trucks in their woods ( the genny noise ) and that we where shooting at them however the le's could see the 120 yards of range we had cut about 20 yards wide facing back form my camp not towards the flatlander camp. Well the le chatted the warden showed up and he went and chatted with the flatlanders as well. Then they came back and told me I was going to have to get my genny off there land. I laughed at the guy and said I did not sell that land. he gave me a odd look so I went in the camp got eh map and handed it to him and said the areas with the red boundary are MY LAND he looked and said o! I said you can go look at the stakes if you want. The warden did the le did not. HE then went to chat with the flatlanders again and came back and then asked if I would mind moving the genny. I replied hell no it has been there for more then 10 years and that is where it is staying. The flatlanders where not happy the warden made a couple threats that carried no weight. I have got many letters form the flatlanders and a few more visits form the wardens. Unorganized township no noise ordnance gennys required for power are exempt anyway as long as they have a muffler. In any case i now always bring the 50 and shoot all night on a regular basis just because they annoyed me.

Deliverance, Part Deux.

But no, we don't need gun legislation for those that are unable to legislate themselves.

Deliverance really? I did not see any reference to man rape in this posting?

As for gun control the fact that I have owned my land for many years and bought the extra lots to ensure privacy and the ability to shoot safely even if the outlying lots where to occupied at some point. I at no point said anything about shooting a person or property in fact I stated clearly "the le's could see the 120 yards of range we had cut about 20 yards wide facing back form my camp not towards the flatlander camp" so where is the need for gun control. The fact is the majority of MY firearms are suppressed ( yes they are legal ) not for others but for myself.

This is true. I had a honda generator and you could barely hear it from the basement to the main floor.
OP Have you ever invited the guy over to your place. Maybe he doesn't realize how loud the generator noise is that carries to your area. He may not be trying to be malicious, just meeting his own needs for electricity. Worth a try.
