Now I posted this for a few reasons. First I know if you approach anyone in any matter in a confrontational matter, they will respond the same right from the start..and it sounds like this property owner might have been that sort of a man..only my speculation now but since he does seem quick to pull his CC maybe these other hunters shot him in self defense since one of them had been shot also...but one of the real reasons I sent this is the slam we 'hunters' took not once but 2x in this article. Ths CC permit was noted as if to say they issue them to anyone...and the other as 'hunters' in the woods toting guns will shoot ya if you confront them for being on your property so maybe more property will now be posted as a result...after all who wants a bunch of gun totin nuts on your property...Maybe I am wrong and the fact this guy had his CCP revoked once shows he was too quick to pull it on someone..and a point that maybe these others had a right to self defense...as paul harvy would say...now for the rest of the story...??? But it seems our media keeps puttin in those little digs about hunting, hunters..such as a local man who I know never hunts was jailed for making threats to his girlfriend with his 'hunting' knife..what does hunting have to do with that?...or the nut case shooter that was taken down but the fact she was an NRA member and avid hunter was mentioned...what does that have to do with a homicide in the street? Just digs against the rest of us.

Skeet,
I read this a bit different as a farm owner. This guy might have been a hot head, very true, but he confronted trespassers on his property illegaly. It really does not make any difference what they were doing, in that aspect, they were on the man's property unlawfuly. I imagine he ordered them off the place and they refused to go, otherwise there would be no gun fight. By the by, trespassing on argriclutural land in Florida with a firearm is a felony and the land owner may arrest and detain on premisis. Of course no land owner wants to have persons return to damage the property either, so an order to leave is usually good enough. Best, Ed
