Having grown up in a city, I’m not entirely familiar with the tradition of shooting road signs. Do you shoot the signs from a moving vehicle? Is there a preferred firearm/caliber? Anyway, I was certainly aware of the practice, encountering plenty of buckshot-mottled steel signage out in the country. And it is for sure illegal; an activity best hidden from upright citizen taxpayers and police. Obvs. Well, not so obvs/important if you’re stinking drunk . . .
Police said Troop C in Tolland [Connecticut] received numerous 911 calls from residents in the Crystal Lake area reporting gunshots.
Ellington police and state police responded to the area and saw a man, who turned out to be Czaja, emerge from the woods carrying a long gun.
Police said they ordered [Alexander] Czaja to drop the gun and get on the ground before handcuffing him.
Czaja was found carrying two additional handguns and more than 25 rounds of .40 ammunition.
Police said Czaja had been drinking and was walking home from a friend’s house. On his way home, he fired 11 rounds from a 12-gauge shotgun, 17 rounds from a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber and 6 rounds from a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver at a speed limit sign on Minor Hill Road.
courant.com further reports that the local DA charged Mr. Czaja with unlawful discharge of firearms, illegal carrying of a firearm under the influence of drugs and alcohol, third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree reckless endangerment.
Assuming he’s guilty of something stupid firearms-related, Mr. Czaja has also earned himself TTAG’s IGOTD award. Tradition or no, perforating public property is perfidious.
I’m not a gun owner, and I think this guy is a total LibTard ! Obviously, he just another attention seeking crazy Democrat voter trying desperately to gain admits into the DNC/ Politburo…So he can be part of this hysterical ” Civilian Disarmament” campaign. Which of course is nothing more than an attempted coupe by Neo-Communists to overthrow the USA ! Also known as Globalists……
Blue finishes? The pics look like parkerized black to to me.
I guess we cannot count on him to help defend the neighborhood when the time arises and if he asks for help, I’ll be sure to tell him to go get that Glock out of the bucket and join the fight.
Growing up in Vermont, most of the bullet holes appeared during deer season. Then there was the Howard Johnson’s that had some little concrete deep in front. Yep, some fool shot one. Didn’t even tag it.
You know what? I don’t care. Not that I don’t care what the trace thinks (although I don’t), but I don’t care if I’m less safe with a gun in the house.
The safest course through life is one without experience of love, exhilaration, friendship, achievement, compassion, and, well, all the things that make life worth living
My firearm hobby is a significant portion of my life, one that gives me a good deal of fun (I like to tinker), stress relief, and the closest ever I’ve comento a Zen state when concentrating on a rifle shot.
It’s like how I feel about motorcycling, and how some feel about bicycling, sailing, or playing chess in the park.
To each his own, choices and consequences. The former are mine, and I accept the latter willingly.
I hope that the folks in here bashing Springfield Armory for their mistake don’t have anything from Smith and Wesson in their gun safes. They did much worse. http://www.businessinsider.com/smith-and-wesson-almost-went-out-of-business-trying-to-do-the-right-thing-2013-1
a few hours of fun at the range!

I really have a hard time understanding all this menstruation over hunting. They’re just animals.
