QUOTE=Maine Writer;5248108]Thieves: Or, How To Get Yourself Shot. Life isn't the way it should be in this part of Washington county this year.
I try not to be a nosy neighbor while trying to keep an eye out for the neighbors. When I heard an ATV on the property next door I listened. I didn't hear the person trying to get into the storage trailer so I left it alone. It could have been someone scoping out the area for the upcoming bird season. The person drove slowly past the house and up the road while I was busy in the kitchen. It should be safe to assume that someone who doesn't care about being seen isn't doing anything wrong. Not this time. I heard the ATV stop in our wood yard about an eighth of a mile up the road so I went to look. From the end of our driveway I could see someone putting our firewood on his ATV.
ok you cought me.thats right i did it i rode my wheeler up there and said to my self, self you need some fire wood so i drove in your neighbors yard to throw off suspition on your fire wood and grabed the wood and got the he@# outa dodge.
Dont be - just learn how to use and safely (securely) store it.
I have raised 4 kids with weapons on site and not one of them have any extra holes=) educate educate educate.
Most kids in rural Maine grow up around guns and learn to respect them at an early age. I got my first 22 rifle for Christmas when I was 8. I can still remember my dad and grandfather taking me out that morning for target practice. It is still my favorite gun because of the memories associated with it.
I'm sure there statistics on how many children were injured or killed, or injured or killed another child, while playing with guns that were supposedly in a safe place.
This would include my neighbor who, as a teen, shot and killed his best friend when he stupidly walked into the house in the middle of the night. Yea, Ken got a good lawyer and didn't do much jail time, but it was more than 20 years ago, and emotionally, he will never be the same.

Absolutely! The tradition of gun ownership in Maine is deep, and along with that comes a great deal of responsibility. It's a blessing that so many of our kids are taught well the power of a gun and the respect that power deserves.

We used to have hunter safety courses for all the 6th and 7th graders at the junior high with GUNS and LIVE AMMUNITION IN SCHOOL! Oh, the horrors if somebody suggested that today. It was only 15 years ago that the last hunter safety course was held in our junior high.

When I was in high school and college there were a bunch of us that would leave our guns in our vehicles so we could go hunting after school. No one thought twice about it.
Remind me when we do finally get a firearm to practice until I can reliably HIT what I SHOOT AT then...
I'm a graduate of the Mass. Criminal Justice Training Council Combat Pistol Course, and equally well skilled with M16, shotgun, sniper rifle, hand grenades, M203 grenade launcher, M60 machine gun, MAC assault pistol, Claymore anti-personnel mines, LAW rockets and assorted explosives and miscellaneous booby-trap devices...oh, and I can chuck a knife pretty well too.
Between me and NMLM, I think we can probably get you squared away.

But how are you with a bow and arrow?
