This happened to me last year, but I was just thinking about it after a recent thread here. I'm not a hunter, so I'd like some advice from hunters about the best course of action if I encounter a similar situation again. I was out walking my dog in a county park (Blue Mash nature trail in MoCo)...
Just like many things with statistics, a lot depends on how you do the analysis. I'm pretty sure that when you look at the data in terms of percentage of police interactions instead of percentage of population, white men are significantly more likely to be shot by police than black men...
Granted, that statement taken at face value is probably not true, but for the context, in case you haven't read it already, that quote is taken from a much longer post by an African-American cop who has spent his carreer policing in predominantly black neighborhoods. He makes some pretty strong...
I don't want to minimize the incredible step forward that this decision was. Congrats and thank you to all who have taken their cases before the HPRB. But doesn't the above statement indicate that this is still a step short of pure self-defense as G&S? Didn't the board basically decide that...
I believe that is incorrect. I believe the semicolons imply a list, with the "OR" indicating any one of the conditions in the list. Just look at section 5-602(C) which says the restriction does not apply if the imitation firearm is part of a:

It's not really making them...
How do you figure when the statute says "...and other public use areas within interstate and State highway rights-of-way"? If it ONLY said "...and within interstate and State highway rights-of-way" I'd agree with you. The original question was about permit holders. I guess if you're talking...
The way I read the statute unless that 70-ft area is considered a "public use area" and has the regulations posted on a bulletin board, I think you're good.
Sorry, there is sometimes a tendency to paranoia because we know that antis may be attempting to find the "loopholes". As I said, if I'm off-base I apologize.
No offense to the OP, and maybe I'm being paranoid, but does this strike anyone else as a suspicious first post?
asdaven, if I'm off-base, I apologize and welcome to the forum.
