Something's not quite right here...
The tiny stilt house flying a rebel flag from the roof has a sign posted in front scrawled with this warning: “Trespassers will be shot. Survivers will be reshot!! Smile I will.”
It was at this most unwelcoming spot on Friday that homeowners Gale and Sheila Muhs were arrested and accused of firing a 12-gauge shotgun at four people, including two children, who were riding in a jeep and a sport utility vehicle.
...
About 9 p.m. Thursday, investigators said, the vehicles were passing in front of the Muhses’ house when the couple came outside with their 12-guage (sic) shotgun and shouted for those in the two vehicles to “get out.”
A 12-gauge shotgun? But, but, b-b-but...that's a duck gun just like my great-grandpa had! No one ever does anything bad with those! It's those damn black rifles that are the problem, no one ever does anything bad with an older, more traditional design like the one this guy used! If I didn't know better, if the antis didn't keep trying to tell me different I'd almost be thinking that it was the person behind the gun that was the critical variable in this equation instead of the gun itself...
