“Keith Mohr was in the shower last Friday morning when he heard a loud crash and his wife screaming that a deer was running through their townhouse near Sugar Grove,” Illinois’ dailyherald.com reports. The 71-year-old homeowner grabbed a golf club (caliber unknown) and took a bash at the unwelcome visitor. He knocked off an antler and broke the club. “Mohr [then] opened the garage door to give the buck an escape route, but it didn’t exit there. It kept running around, bleeding on the carpet, destroying furniture, punching holes in walls and pawing at closed windows to escape. ‘He did a lot of damage. A lot of damage . . .
I just chased him around for probably 10 minutes. It looked like a (Charles) Manson murder — blood everywhere.’
Mohr opened a living room window and the deer finally escaped. All of which could have been avoided with a carefully placed shot or two from a home (shower?) carry firearm or a last ditch defense tactical shotgun. It would have been a more ethical kill and Mohr would have had venison to spare. [h/t DanRRZ]
When I was in I could barely afford to buy food. I did buy a Craftsman wrench and screwdriver though. Do I qualify?
In the immortal words of Piglet “Oh D-d-d-deer!”
Insurance would cover the damage, and I’d be that much closer to a full freezer.
Should have used the 9 iron instead of that putter.
Been one in the past, but I am recovering.
Please explain how, after a person undergoes the medical exam and written test and takes ownership of a gun in Iceland, those “stringent checks” then prevent the gun owner from experiencing a violent fit of anger later on.
Oh, never mind. There is no way to explain it because that assertion by the writer doesn’t make sense. I forgot that I’m supposed to disengage my brain when I’m reading news articles.
Oh please, Filko? For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.
They have extremely low crime there. The population density is very low as well. When I lived there in the 1970’s the word was that if you were put in prison in Iceland, your family was responsible for feeding you everyday. I don’t know how true that is, but that’s what they taught us in school.
It’s a cool place, I recommend a visit to anyone who likes a rough terrain mostly unspoiled by development.
It’s one of the most gorgeous places on Earth.
Serious question:
If He was the only one hit, would that not still be assault.
As a kid I used to take hold my brothers hand and swat him with it and ask him why he was hitting himself.
Same thing only different.
Funny, after reading that article I came away with: minorities and the poor, especialy in high densities, are responsible for violence, not gun ownership.
Thanks Marc, I appreciate you confirming what I already believed.
Italian Clown Car
In celebration of the glorious revolution, the communist party leaders decided to parade their most magnificent and enviable creation: the Carabinieri 112. The police model is seen above with its roaring 1.25L motor and a recently developed roof-top shooting port. Armor is to in added in later models.
Georgio peddle faster.
That car is so small, I almost gave it the motorcycle wave.
If I shot a deer in my home I would be arrested for discharging a firearm and stripped of my gun rights.
500.
cc’s or caliber? You make the call
The post recession police states isn’t quite as scary.
I have one. During the buying decision, in left hand a Colt at $1900, in my right hand a Mossberg MMR for $900. I have added plastic covers for the rail and trigger work was just completed. The re-worked trigger made a lot of difference and I would suggest this is an upgrade worth the money.
A thousand rounds and I have zero complaints. It’s really a lot of fun and the wife also enjoy shooting the AR, but not as much as her tactical Mossberg 20 gauge.
“Faster Poppa Smurf, FASTER!”
You know if he reorganized that safe a little he could fit a second girl in there.
Police militarization is getting out of hand.
The product of 2 liberal morons. And the cycle continues.
