Just make sure you tell everyone that safety was the first thing on your mind . and that you took all possible precautions before you took the unloaded gun out of the trunk of the car..etc

Or you could say, "Respect my athoritii!!" I'd give a lawyer a call as well. I think you'll be fine.

 
this is florida right?

just tell the judge that the deer was threatening you so you shot it and just like that what you did is legal.
 
how often do you carry the gun with you ? Did you just happen to have it with you this time ? 😕

When I hit a deer, first thing the cop did when she got there, aside from making sure I wasn't hurt, is went to look for the deer.

In order to shoot it and put it out of its misery if it was still alive.

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.

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.
 
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.

I am entirely serious on this subject although your "evil monkey demons" comment makes me question how serious you are.

I know the law on concealed carry permits in FL where the OP claims to be from. They do not have gun licenses only concealed carry permits. If they took anything at all it was the CC permit.

If justice is served they will keep his gun and never issue him a CC permit ever again.

wow what the ****** is wrong with you, kid?

If it was executed safely, its lot better than haveing a crazy deer run around. Hell you can always claim self defence from the wounded animal.

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

Just make sure any witnesses can vouch that you said "There coming right for us!" before shooting.

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 🙂
 
I'm certain of just one thing: you're in for a world of trouble if you don't have a lawyer. You broke the law, period. You fired your gun in city limits. The judge can put you away just for that.

Don't fvck around, get a lawyer.

If 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.

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

I hear of people taking it all the time here in Illinois without any legal problems. Are there laws concerning this?

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.


No, I am pretty sure that this is okay. You are required by law to report the deer that you hit, and remove it off the road yourself, and if the deer isn't dead, then it could seriously injure you. You would think that shooting it to put it out of it's misery/protecting yourself would be ok.

Not true. The wolf is making a great comeback in some states such as Winsconsin (I believe we have a bit over 300). The problem is most states will not allow wolves (granted, a few do get in) on their soil.

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?

😕
