What a crock of crap. Some idiot opens fire on them and they return fire in defense and they're under investigation? I can't believe LE sometimes.:confused: Maybe there is more to the story? Who knows?

I have a hard time understanding how it could be illegal for them to shoot back while being under fire at their own house. WTH?

BEAUFORT, S.C. - A 19-year-old man picked the wrong time to shoot at two brothers, opening fire just as they got ready to do some target practice, police said. Antoine Robinson was shot once in the arm during the shootout around 4:15 p.m. Monday, Beaufort County deputies said.

Robinson pulled up to the Beaufort home, got out of his car and started firing at brothers Rodmond Singleton, 24, and Titus Singleton, 18, authorities said.

The brothers said they were getting ready to shoot target practice and grabbed their guns and fired back, hitting Robinson once, deputies said.

Robinson was taken to the hospital and released to jail later that night. He has been charged with two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, authorities said.

The brothers were not hit, deputies said.

Deputies continue to investigate the shooting, in part trying to determine if the brothers were licensed to fire the guns, sheriff's spokeswoman Robin McIntosh said.
 
Dunno Ted. Sounds more like they are just wrapping up loose ends... They probably need to be thorough, otherwise robinson could turn around and claim special treatment or sue... sucks, but it is the way it is. :(
 
Probably true, still kinda silly. "No fair, they shot back at me without a license. I want my mommy":barf:

The title is more for the bad guy than LE, I just went off on a rant.
 
But it is alway the way some people will react. :(

The LE need to do their job and the news paper will probably avoid reporting if they get cleared...
 
Ted ..man thats why iam blessed to live here in the remote/wilderness..i can leave my cabin for months and leave it unlocked and nothing is taken when i return....no-one comes shooting around our cabins ..unless they expect return fire ..lol..man iam so glad i left the life of the big city mindset ...you cant take a crap now ..unless you got a permit ..good luck to all you city dwellers ..cheers ..
 
I'd be more envious if you didn't have snow and the temperature never went under 25*F.:D
 
Yeah... Only snowed 3 times last winter. Once that lasted from mid nov to late dec. Jan through to march, and then once for a week or three at the end of march. ;)

That's all I have to say about that.:thumbdn:
 
Hey Wolftrapper; can you trap wolves in Alaska?

Last I heard, there was a rukus raised about shooting them to protect Caribou herds.


They'll go off the endangered list in Montana someday, but I don't expect to do much about their numbers.

Damn fine to see you again, Munk. In a nutshell, yes. Much to the chagrine of the lower 48 special interest groups, it's still legal to shoot and trap them in most places, for now.
 
Maybe the two brothers have a shady history and the whole 'We were just gearing up to go target shooting' needs a little more investigation. Discharging a firearm in an incorporated town is usually against the law, but the laws of self defense should over ride it in this case.
 
Some folks on another forum did some research and the older brother has a prior record for drug dealing and a few other things. That they were felons in possession of firearms was the only thing that made sense to me.
