RE: Shooting a Bow in your back yard Illegal?!
In kind of a related issue, I got into some major ka-ka at work, for bringing a bow in. The employee handbook says "no firearms or other lethal weapons". I made sure that I didn't have any broadheads in my bowcase (which to me would have been lethal weapons) - just my bow, some arrows, and field tips. Anyway, the President (my Supervisor) came in and saw it.. and freaked out! First he told me to take it to my truck, and never bring it back. Then he changed his mind and said it was bothering him so much that he wanted me to take it home.. right then. Well, I'm salaried, so it didn't bother me any - it's a 45 minute trip one way. Obviously, my boss is not a hunter, and knows nothing about it. It should be noted that I'm a senior Manager that has been with the Company for over 7 years, and have a private office. I didn't have it in the lunch room, or out in the main employee areas, showing it off.. I thought it was a TOTAL over-reaction....
