Gun Shots in Pt. Washington

[grace]

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.

No duck hunting in the PM. That's a crack of dawn deal.

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!

Where'd you get your data?

I just want to say never underestimate what someone will do especially when angry and drinking. I only wish we would have called the police to take care of it....you just never expect someone to be walking around with a .357 in their baggy pants pocket.

The trial was far worse then the shooting. I was in shock at the shooting...but during the trial I became the one fighting for my life. The worse part really was having to go back and live in the house for the next 3 months. I sold everything in the house and moved. My eldest daughter has had such trauma from this she will never have trust for anyone. The pain is too great to even talk about.

Thank you so much for your concern.....I felt compelled to let people know what can happen in certain circumstances, and that location sometimes does not mean safety.

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".

Well sowalgayboi, there are many wealthy people down there, I am referring to retirees more than anything. Sorry, I am not familiar with Regatta Bay at all. We have guns in our home also. We have a 32 pistol that is loaded and kept under our mattress but we've yet to have anyone try to break in to our home.

I would prefer to do just that if I wasn't in bed and knew where in the he.. it was coming from, the sheriff's dpt. can't find them after 3 "episodes" and probably don't care,, agreeably, speaking with them would produce better results than the wcsd pounding on their door...

Hey T,
One of the things thst p'd me off was the attitude of the dpty. that finally showed up and went to my neighbors house after I told him they where asleep and told them that I was "too drunk " to give him information about the facts when I had JUST had 1 drink prior to his arrival...beimg a little rattled!!! WCSD needs to learn some manners.....

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.

I'm not knocking Memphis. My wife was born on Lookout Mt., and we were married in Kingsport, Tn. I lived two and one half years in Jackson TN,. and know Memphis up and down. Given all that, I can say, having lived most of my life in Florida, that Florida is more diverse from Pensacola to Key West than Memphis to Bristol. It's not meant as an insult. Florida is more like S. California than almost any other southern state. Maybe I should post some U.S. Census Bureau stuff.

Did I indicate my neighborhood had prestigious warranties? I am simply trying to say that it is obviously not a hunter , and shooting off a .357 at 10:00 at night worries me being that I have had the "unpleasant" gift of having the s... beat out of me 4 months ago. A dog barking is o.k. . I've had a man w/ a gun to a womans head on my back porch 5'ft. from me in my last "prestigious" neighborhood", if that is what you think makes a distinction.

I did not take it as a knock on anything and right now I would be the first to say that Memphis has serious problems, but was just curious as to your definition of diversity.

Are these single shots, or multiple "machine-gun" type shots? And how close to the Bay are you?

If it's a machine-gun, I know who it is and I'll ask him to stop, since we have neighbors now.
