What are you thinking with that?
BOTTOM LINE! When YOU discharge a firearm -YOU are responsible for the bullet.
IT DON'T GET ANY MORE SIMPLE THAN THAT.
Did you even read the article?
Yes, I agree with you about if you fire the bullet, you are responsible for where it goes. But in this case, the
LANDOWNER, who was
NOT the one who fired the bullet, is being held responsible also.
Yes I read it completely. I don't see a valid point of arguement of landowner responsibility. The Land Use Act is very simple & clear. IMO a judge should not even waste time hearing this case. The Land Use Act has been argued before and held up. Case law.
Only time I have seen problems is when there is a doubt or question as to whether there has been a "charge" to access the land. Arguements have been made that doing chores, etc could be construed as a "charge".
Here in IL some are claiming that if a landowner allows Billy & Bobby to hunt the land w/o charge that then the landowner has to allow Donny & Dougaccess to the land also- the landowner can't pick and choose who. We'll see where this stuff goes.
