Not at AOS yet and had to use a gun

[Robert&Karen 264]

We are a week away from our AOS interview and my wife used my handgun to shoot at a coyote that wanted to eat our dogs. We live well outside the city limits so it was completely safe, BUT... they had to run her name and numbers, she does not even have a state ID card yet. Of course she is a bit upset, not only from having to use a gun but for having any police involvement without even having a free card yet. While she is not yet eligible to BUY a gun it is not illegal for her to use mine in an emergency. Whew!

If you're outside the city limits, how did law enforcement get involved?

It's in the County, so she called just to let them know it was a lawful discharge in case any one else called in the shot.

No one called it in, but we asked a neighbor if he heard it and he said yes, made him want to join the party!

I hope there's a dead coyote for the hassle of having the wife's name now entered into a database.

Same here! People around here don't even call in if somebody sets off tannerite.

Isn't she already in tons of databases just from getting here?!

How do they feel about using RDX and Mercury Fulminate to control dandelions?

Of course she is, so being entered into a police Field Contact Database is just another database.

I wouldn't stress. You've filed AOS, she is in a "period of authorised stay" so she's fine. You say she didn't break a law. She wasn't arrested. She's totally fine. Don't worry about it.

[Robert&Karen 264]

Not worried at all, just amazed at the drama of the day. Turns out it was a gray wolf, not a coyote.

Aren't they still protected?

THAT will get you entered into a database (unless she missed)

Gray wolves are listed as endangered throughout the United States except for a few states.
