Gun Shots in Pt. Washington

[Ongkiko]

Yeah...I hate guns and gunshots too. But hey..forget West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama and forget Kentucky. Florida is by far the most redneck, white trash state in all of the union. Are you really surprised little E. Point Washington? I mean come on!!! Wake up!

I cannot imagine this as being so with all the retired wealthy people that live throughout Florida.

I can tell you for a fact certain areas of Memphis are considered redneck and white trash, not to mention worse. And gang activity is rampant here.

I haven't looked up local gun laws, but I'd bet that there are rules against firing guns within 500ft of a residence, even if you live adjacent to a hunting area like the State Forest.

Could be the rednecks on E. Pt. Washington that hang out in their garage and drink beer every night.
We heard some last weekend. Sounded like it was right behind us (we're in Bay Magnolia).

From my house in Midtown, you could hear gunfire almost every night. The interesting thing is that our neighborhood was pretty safe, as much so as you could be without moving to Collierville.

We had people knocking on the door almost every day, ostensibly asking to rake the yard, but really casing the place...

We had a similar incident down here last fall. My neighbor called the Sheriffs on the guy and two cars came out and hauled him off. Imagine that happening in Memphis...

Moral of the story - A drunk neighbor shooting off his guns is obnoxious, agreed, but it's unlikely he is a predatorial sh**head intent on stealing your stuff or worse.

You must be a kid to make that statement. Florida is a little more diverse than those four states you rattled off.

TreeFrog, we live in a nice neighborhood called Lakewood Hills in Raleigh. Most of the homes in this neighborhood are very large and have huge yards. We never have heard of a break-in here in our neighborhood nor have we heard any gunshots. I feel our neighborhood is safe enough to live in without having to move to Collierville or beyond, for now that is.

You can do everything right about picking out a place to live, and still be tormented by any one neighbor. That's very frustrating.

SO SO TRUE BOB! Before I moved to Grayton my beloved and I were living in the most expensive neighborhood, gated, patrolled and what we always felt was the safest place one could live in. One night while grilling out and watching a movie our annoying neighbor pounded on our door then ran back to his house, came back pounded again....this time my husband jumped up went to his house and told him he was calling the police. He made me and our daughter sit in the living room while he talked with this maniac. I heard them arguing on our front steps and I walked to the front door, which was wide open....our 16 year old daughter behind me. We watched in horror as our neighbor pulled out a .357 and put the gun to his face and well you know the rest. A hollow nose bullet between the eyes. The maniac ran back to his house....as I was holding my husband the maniac ran out and grabbed me shaking me and saying he didn't mean to do it...he was sooo sorry. Needless to say he was drunk on whiskey, had a bad day at his work (the post office), and was a crazy angry man who had come home from Viet Nam never to be the same....and of course passed that on to us! Every time I hear a gun I experience the feeling of uneasiness....you don't have to live in a State that's known to have white trash rednecks. This was not Louisianna, Mississippi, Tennessee, or Florida. It's a state I will never say the name of again!

3 months later I came to "sift sand" on the beaches of Grayton for a month....and stayed.

NEVER NEVER take things for granted! And NEVER EVER expect that justice will be done in the courts. If it is....you are one of the lucky ones. He served less then 5 years....worked everyday outside of the prison....and got off for good behaviour. His wife worked for the "best" and most "crooked" attorney in town. The DA's owed him and did not want to handle this case. In fact there were 4 different ones in 7 months...the last one never opened the file until I met him the morning of the trial!

Sighhhh Kat

In what way is Florida more diverse? Not all of Tn is redneck, white trash by any means.

As to who breaks the law, certainly it is not limited to a class of people, wealthy well to do, break the laws as often, I really do not like to label anyone.

Ya gotta love Walton county, it's illegal to discharge a firearm in Walton county but you can hunt in the State Forrest during hunting season. How ironic I live off cabbage rose and lost of dumbarsss people come to the bay access an do stupid ****e all the time. The response time for the cops sucks we are 2 mile from the station and the response time is always 45 minutes.
