a few years ago i was able to shoot pellet guns all day in my backyard, until our super-paranoid neighbor across the way got mad at me for just shooting a pellet gun. i know that it was noisy and semi automatic but still, a pellet gun nonetheless. he had had a bit to drink as usual and started screaming at me when i went out front. my ol' lady came out and talked to him and apparently promised him "no weapons on the property" and that we would never own any kind of weapon or shoot here again. however as the years passed the guy forgot about that crap, got more occupied with work, but my mother never forgot her promise. she promised to forfeit our families second amendment rights to our stupid neighbor. how dumb is that? we are talking pellet guns here, it is not like i was doing anybody any harm or shooting a .22 in my backyard. it just irks me that we have to give up our right to own a firearm because of some idiot. last night my mom was talking about not letting me get the NAA super companion even though i would keep it locked up, unloaded, and probably stick a lock through the cylinder or barrel. i see no problem in owning a black powder firearm because i go to the shooting range very often, i already own several guns that are more than capable of being lethal, i took a hunter's safety course, i am more gun safety conscious than anybody in my entire family, and i am overall a very responsible person. however she promised one of the neighbors (who was tipsy might i add) that we will forfeit our second amendment rights so he, his wife, and his two kids could feel "safer" because there would not be a gun in the neighborhood. it just sickens me. nowadays i get along well with the guy who my mother made a promise to on that fateful day, however i am not sure where he stands on the subject of owning firearms. i would like to get him to tell my mom that owning firearms is okay, i am just not sure how i shoudl phrase it. if anybody has any ideas on how i should approach this then any advice is welcomed. however i simply am going to get a .22 pistol. and if i cannot get one i will make one. period.
