Gun Shots in Pt. Washington

[Miss Kitty]

I don't agree with the wealthy part as some friends of mine live in Regatta Bay and the wife sleeps with a 9mm under her pillow. They moved there from Blue Water Bay, cause the guy next door was "a gun nut".

...oh, and she is not nutty at all.

It's illegal to discharge a firearm in Walton County? That doesn't seem to jibe with the general culture or the Sheriff offering various firearms courses including "tactical home defense."

What are the rules on firearms? The only think I could find on the Sheriff's website was that you could carry a gun in your vehicle if it wasn't "readily accessible and was properly encased" and you should get a concealed weapons permit if you are taking your gun off your property.

Well, that and the answer to "why do cops always associated with doughnut shops"? :roll:

I was under the impression that the State of Florida had one of the most lenient gun laws in the US now. (Shoot first,ask ?s later) and that as long as you were on your property that it wasnt against the law.
I am providing a link to the FL statutes and from what I can tell the local level has to abide by these also...

790.15 Discharging firearm in public.--

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) or subsection (3), any person who knowingly discharges a firearm in any public place or on the right-of-way of any paved public road, highway, or street or whosoever knowingly discharges any firearm over the right-of-way of any paved public road, highway, or street or over any occupied premises is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. This section does not apply to a person lawfully defending life or property or performing official duties requiring the discharge of a firearm or to a person discharging a firearm on public roads or properties expressly approved for hunting by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or Division of Forestry.

(2) Any occupant of any vehicle who knowingly and willfully discharges any firearm from the vehicle within 1,000 feet of any person commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(3) Any driver or owner of any vehicle, whether or not the owner of the vehicle is occupying the vehicle, who knowingly directs any other person to discharge any firearm from the vehicle commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

I know this is sad but is it duck or turkey hunting season yet? Maybe that's what all the boom boom is about. The hunters get too close to houses sometimes. I've been hearin' some around here too.

Gojus, MzKitty! You exude confidence amongst all kitties.

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!!!!!!!! I have a new neighbor that is bring down the whole area with his junk and rebel flags... he likes to fire his gun around 10pm too and I know he's aiming right at my pond area. I wish I knew the answer, the deputy has been out several times,but no actual law has been broken.

Somehow I missed seeing that post the first time through... Kat, I hope your life is nothing but good things from now on!

I live on Georgie St and I have heard the same shots at about the same time....makes me really uneasy. I can't think of any reason this should be happening at 9-10 pm. Seems there is always a "nut bag" in every neighborhood. this nut bag must live pretty close to me too because those shots were LOUD!:angry:

 

[CPort]

Oh Kate , I missed your post too. What a story! Your so strong to have made it through this .
