A woman reported her neighbors shot her car last week in Hoschton.
Officers with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office were called to a Ward Road residence on reports of damage to property. A woman said someone shot her car as it sat in the driveway.
She told officers it may have been her neighbors, who “always shoot.” The complainant said she’s been told its legal to shoot in the area, but it sometimes “sounds like the bullets are going by her house.”
Officers found a bullet underneath the woman’s vehicle.
They spoke with the neighbors, who said they had about 20 people over the previous day and they were target shooting. The target was a wooden door propped up on a recliner and the shooting direction was directly towards the complainant’s residence.
Officers advised the suspect they were illegally shooting and should use the embankment on the property as a target.
The resident also showed officers an area where they shoot tannerite with automatic rifles. That area, too, was in the direction of the complainant’s house.
See more incidents in the May 10 issue of The Jackson Herald.

Idiots! these nuts are what gives responsible gun owners a bad name. Scary to think how close this woman came to being a fatality due to the stupidity of these people.

I agree, responsible gun owners get lumped together with these fools! I myself have been on the receiving end of stupid people who had no business owning a firearm.

This 'fake news' is just part of main stream media's campaign to overturn the 2nd Amendment.

I think the Keysfisherman has been out in the sun too long or maybe he's spending too much time at Hemingway's hangout Sloppy Joes. First The Jackson Herald is not part of the main stream media. It's a small town newspaper. The Jackson Herald I'm sure has no interest in overturning the 2nd Amendment. They are reporting a story of morons with guns.

This is from a law enforcement report. It's not fake. It has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.

What a dumbass. Typical low-information Trump supporter - seeing ghost liberals where there are none.
