I live in Missoula MT, and when we go shooting we drive about 20 minutes up in the mountains. On a nice day there is upwards of about 50 people out there shooting. On a crappy day there is usually one or two groups. Yesterday was not that nice!!! So there was absolutely no shortage of places to shoot. Now most people out there are considerate and smart. We clean up our mess, we stop shooting when cars go by, and we are ever mindful of what is in the backround. Well we found some that werent any of those. While standing in our usuall spot loading up, a group of three cars pulled up to a spot just off the road about a half mile before us. The road between us and them twists and turns to where we are on opposite sides of a 200 yard gap in between mountains. Instead of firing back into the hill (which most people do) they start lighting off ARs as fast as they can into the rock face of the mountain we are standing on. They can see us clearly and we can see them by the way. All of the sudden trees no less then 20 feet from us start getting ripped apart from the ricochets. I can see them hitting trees and hear them zip by as I grabbed my cousin and ducked behind the car. We waited till they stopped firing jumped in the rig and headed over to have a little talk. It was futile. They were piss drunk, they couldnt understand why it wasnt a good idea to fire into the rock face of a mountain no more than 50 yards from the road. Needless to say we got far far away from them.
Im not sure where I am going with this, guess I just needed to vent. Some people just need to have their thinking privilages revoked! It is people like this that will have the entire mountain shut down too all shooters!!!

Drunks and guns don't mix well.

Sounds to me like they already had their "thinking privileges" revoked!
Damn! Glad you weren't hurt.

Probably not a bad idea as they presented a menace to everyone on the road before guns entered the picture. This is the kind of thing I was talking about in the "Urine test" thread, it's not an alcohol problem it's a problem with people not using things responsibly, whether it's guns, alcohol, cars , whatever. But that kind of behavior makes us ALL look bad.

Since they obviously had the BIGGER guns.. I guess kicking thier asses might have NOT been too smart.. but I sure would have wanted to. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/TMB/BluebirdNut/Emoticons/AllEmoticons/boxing.gif)

As they say "It isn't the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog!"

They had already kicked their own ass!!! When we pulled up over there one guys face was all bloodied up, his buddy was throwing clays and hit him right in the nose!!!
While kicking their ass seems fun, I dont like jail!!! And with the way they are going they probibaly wont be long for this world. I wouldnt be suprised if they never made it down the mountain!!!

Stupid SHOULD hurt.

Stupid SHOULD hurt.
My god.. if it did.. then can you imagine how many people would be piled up moaning with pain?
( probably me , on occasion) :P ;)

Stupid SHOULD hurt.
It usually does for me .

Venting? Believe me there's no venting when somebody starts throwing bumble bee's in January. I am glad you made it out and yes make that phone call.! They should thank you for not shooting back, its a good thing you that you handled it well' but next time let the police have a talk with them as they say "that their job" Once again glad you all are safe.
-
Damn! That was a close call if I've ever heard one! :o
It's idiots like those guys that ruin everything for people. >:(
-
Lucky they weren't shot by another shooter in self defense!

You know what the bitch of this whole incident is other than you getting hurt. Those are the asses that will get on the evening news as a represention of all gun owners. Its never the ones like us who follow the rules. Its these dumb bastards that everyone rembers. Thank God you were not hurt. These type of people make me sick.

Isn't that the truth! Remember the 'gun guy' that asked the video question at the Dim debate?

Whew! Thought it might have been my cousins, but hell, they couldn't find Montana ;)
