Minnesota man accused of firing muzzleloader during altercation - InForum | Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo news, weather and sports

KASOTA, Minn. — A Mankato man faces felony charges after being accused of firing a muzzleloader during a fight Thursday in Kasota.
Dylan Andrew Nichols, 27, was charged with felonies for assault with a dangerous weapon and illegal firearm discharge Friday in Le Sueur County District Court.
Two people told Le Sueur County sheriff's deputies they were in a shop in Kasota on Thursday when they heard a gunshot outside, according to the criminal complaint. They went outside and reported seeing Nichols holding a long gun in a "heated discussion" with another man.
The owner of the shop told deputies that Nichols and the other man were his employees, and they'd been having a disagreement over a woman.
When reached by deputies over the phone, the other man said he and Nichols were friends at one point but had fallen out over a woman. They were arguing that day, he said, when Nichols pulled what looked like a shotgun out and fired at him.
The man then reported tackling Nichols, hitting him multiple times in self-defense, and running off into nearby woods to escape, according to the complaint.
Blue Earth County sheriff's deputies later found the vehicle Nichols reportedly used to leave the scene. A deputy used a search warrant to find a camouflage gun case with a muzzleloader inside and reported seeing evidence of it being recently fired.
The gun case had various types of ammunition and slugs, along with a zipper pouch containing three muzzleloader bullet containers. Two of the containers were full of bullets and black powder, according to the complaint, while one was empty.

Hahaha! Had a young co-worker many years ago who told us on Monday morning that he'd spent the weekend in jail. Seems he went over the top in some kind of altercation with his girlfriend. What's funny is that he told us that ALL his weekend cellmates were there for some situation involving a woman.
There's a reason that the tale of Eve is the second story in the Bible.

I wonder if they can charge him with illegal discharge of a firearm if it’s not legally considered a firearm
Random acts of stupidity, even those involving firearms, are not on topic for THR. Neither is relationship advice or what laws he may or may not have broken.
Unless a story is about lawful self-defense or is in direct relation to the 2nd Amendment, it is off topic and unfit for THR. Again, idiots with guns does not rise to the level of THR.
