Ok some friends and I were out in a rural area in my friend's property doing some target shooting with a .22/.40/12ga. and the game wardens showed up. Apparently some errant shots made it past our backstop.(likely due to one of the guys being a horrible shot) They state that their office had received complaints about the stray rounds leaving my friend's property and going into theirs(neighbors) property. The wardens had previously come onto the property, when we weren't there, and checked out the backstop. They told us that it was adequate but that there was evidence on the upper parts of the backstop that there were some very high shots. We were told that the neighbors did not want to press charges for 'trespassing by projectile' at that time but that we had to correct the issue. Having it happen again would mean all of mine and my friends weapons would be confiscated, we would be fined, and we would all take a trip to jail. They then proceeded to take pictures of the two handguns, my shotgun and my AR-15 that was inside my friend's truck. My question is did they act within the law when they removed my AR from the truck/soft case to record the serial? They didn't ask who it belonged to, or specific permission to remove the AR from truck, until after they took the pictures.
Needless to say, I won't be shooting there again any time soon but I wasn't too happy about them just taking pictures but may I be out of line?
