I think you need a lawyer. You did the right thing, but wound up getting nailed by an overzealous cop.

I assume you've never hit a deer, and dont mind them romping all over the place hitting cars and such. This time of the year driving around in Ohio you see dead deer all over the place, or the big red stains on the highway from where they were hit. We need to start killing more deer, but not with cars.

Concealed carry permits are not issued so you can put animals out of their misery in city limits. And doing it at the scene of an accident when you know a cop would end up at is double dumb. Did you expect that the police would pat you on the back for shooting an injured deer at point blank range? I think you need a lawyer and a psychiatrist. Maybe then you can plead insanity.
I have to wonder if the original post is for real or simply a troll.

I hope you are joking but you sound like the troll. If so, please find a way to have the evil monkey demons in your brain disable your ability to post.
"Concealed carry permit" - where did he say he had one? He said he had a gun liscence. Which of course the cop can take away without due process.
"Point blank range" - for all we know he stood back 20 feet and took careful aim.
Let's leave you on the side of the road waiting for a cop to verify the accident with a crippled bleeding buck writhing around outside your car groaning and see how you feel.
The worst I can see he's guilty of is maybe reckless driving (prolly not) and/or hunting/shooting a deer without a hunting liscence. "Firing guns within city limits" better have some wide interpretations in the law for varying circumstances. It's like those "disorderly conduct" laws which allow cops to arrest anyone for anything.
I wish the OP good luck and hope justice is served.

Doesn't Florida have that "Shoot first, ask questions later" law? Just say the deer was attacking you...

I wonder if the same would apply if you hit a child?
I'd pull the trigger if I saw you suffering!

unfortunately, I tend to believe crazyfool's post is exactly what the judge is going to say. Right or wrong, that's what you'll probably hear.
btw, you did at least keep the edible venison, right?
Then again, deer in Florida seem to run on the small side... probably barely worth the bother for a deer hit by a car.
If you lose the court battle over the gun, you could always go back to court and fight them over the value of the venison they denied you 🙂

Every time they try to control deer through rational means (ie, shooting them), the tree hugging idiots sue to block it. Because apparently, either:
-deer suffer a lot less when they get hit by cars and die from internal bleeding or break a hip and starve to death as compared to getting shot in the head by hired sharpshooters
-or killing deer with cars is much more "natural" than shooting them.
I hear of people taking it all the time here in Illinois without any legal problems. Are there laws concerning this?Originally posted by: rahvinIf you collect the venison without a permit, regardless if it's a roadkill, mercy kill or a hunt you have poached. NEVER take the meat (unless it's released to you by a game warden), you run the risk of confiscation of everything you had on you including your vehicles and guns.

With a lawyer you will probably get away with just some fines.
Though you did fire a weapon within city limits and you do not have a lot of recourse in that situation.

What would be natural would be their natural predators, which your honkey ancestors exterminated because they were too scary.

I was driving with my buddy to get some food and a big deer just runs across the street. My buddy ends up hitting it and busting its front leg open and his chest too. The thing was going nuts rolling and yelling. I felt so bad so I had my gun on me and just ended its misery and right then I see a cop and he pulls his gun out and makes me get on my face. Then arrests my for wreckless endangerment, firing a weapon in city limits and took my gun and my gun license away with me. Now I have to go to court and face a crapload of fines. You guys think the jugde will show sympathy?
