Re: Dove Hunters Held at Gunpoint by MP's

Annoying Man - I have actually been reading this site since I got my CHL around 5 years ago and started in the "Waiting Room". I was registered but rarely posted, so I could not find/remember my log in info. That is why I re-registered to post this information.

I carry a 1911 in condition 1 at 3 o'clock in a Whitehat IWB holster. I hope that is OK with you......

As far as the information on the hunters laying down, that came from Greg Simons Facebook page. He is the landowner and a friend of a friend.
In other words, did you join because you're a CHL, or did you join simply in order to post a complaint against Goodfellow base security, backed up by incomplete information?
I posted because I was interested in getting the perspectives of people on this board and letting others know about a potentially bad situation. I can point you to many other posts that are further off topic than this one, so I am not sure why there is an issue. I notice that you are not listed as one of the moderators and neither one of them have expressed a problem with the post.

As far as "incomplete information" is there any other kind? I am posting on a message board, not presenting in a court of law.

Re: Dove Hunters Held at Gunpoint by MP's

If they really made one of them continue to lay on an ant bed. Make all the MPs that were present lay on ant beds for the same length of time. Or make them run the perimeter of the base property barefoot a number of times equal to the number of minutes they detained the hunters. Trust me they'll remember where the property line is after that. heck give the MPs the choice between the two. Then call the matter done.
That doesn't cut it for me.....turn it around and say the hunters climbed the fence and started shooting doves ON the base. How do you think it would go for them? Seems like a double standard to me.

Also, if you and I rolled up on someone and held them at gunpoint, with no authority to do so, what all charges would be filed? Surely assault with a deadly weapon at the least......

Dove Hunters Held at Gunpoint by MP's

http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/local-n ... t_15477637

Apparently these guys were hunting on private property adjacent to Goodfellow AFB and were detained by the MP's. All I can say is WOW!

From Greg Simons FB

I'm disappointed in our local Goodfellow Airforce Base Security for what they did today. On a farm field that we lease that's adjacent to the Base, surrounded b...y a security fence, they swarmed our group of 6 hunters, made them lay on their belly, spread eagle, for almost 30 minutes at gunpoint, two of them on asphalt in almost 100 degree temps and would not let them move, with our hunters pleading with them. One was laying in a red ant bed and they would not let him move. Our local police officers arrived and sorted matters out, assuring the Airforce security that all was okay. Airforce security visited with these same hunters earlier today telling them that all was good, asking who they (security) should contact to get permission to hunt the property. What's even more amazing is that our local television news was there and minutes earlier had finished filming an interview on the importance of hunting to our local economy. Appears they may have also filmed this very unfortunate event. Seems to me that Goodfellow should provide a formal apology to some folks. I'm thankful to our local police department for intervening and providing some relief to this matter.
