Florida Man Ordered To Keep BBQ Smoke On Property By County Officals
-
-
Well, the only rational thing to do would be to burn down the complaining neighbor's home.
Had I been that county official, I would have refused to go on that call due to the rules being fucking idiotic.
-
Besides...what sort of neighbors does this guy have?!
I know that if I smelled my neighbors firing up a smoker...I'd be over there to ask if I could have some! (Give me some lead time, and I might even swing by the store and pick up a brisket or what-have-you to bring with as a
peacemeat offering.)
-
The guy should go to see his neighbour and demand they return his smoke.

Florida Man
That explains 95% of the crazy.

I wouldn't recommend that, I've heard bad things about second-hand smoke.

A bunch of ordinary neighbours and one asshole, it sounds like.

That's not fair! Florida has redeeming features!
-
Really, since when?

-
Not all the wildlife in Florida is trying to kill you. That's a redeeming feature when compared to Australia.

Um, um...
When did they add those?
Uh...
Not all the wildlife in Florida is trying to kill you. That's a redeeming feature when compared to Australia.
Aha! I knew there must be something!

-
You're a good
misogynistman.
-
That's not fair! Florida
haswould have redeeming features but their evil credit card company blacked out the rewards!
-
Hey now, there were plenty of pictures with shirtless dudes in them too.

Even if it does, it still qualifies as Australian due to the sheer majority of people who think that flip flops are suitable for all social occasions.

Meh. I'm fine with meeting the occasional funnelweb or blue ringed octopus if it means I don't have to put up with brown recluse spiders, rabies and the NRA.

They don't call us Flori-duh for nothing.

So what? And for something that common they think they need nearly nine minutes of video?
Over here in Germany, the courts are overworked every summer with neighbors not content with calling the cops when you barbeque, but even trying to sue the shit out of you.
Just one of literally myriads of Google results:

Nothing is stopping the Florida neighbor from suing either - it just hasn't reached that point yet.
y nonetheless!

It is a bit strange that this is in the Civil Code, but I've never thought it is outright weird for I've learned a bit about bee behavior in biology class before I stumbled upon these articles. It's rather "how to handle bee behavior in a legally sensible way".
There are lots of strange and weird laws here, and some I'd call outright unjust (although very few, actually), but overall, when I compare them to those of other countries, I want to kneel down to thank my God for our law system.

Anyone who has worked in a OTA knows what a PITA travel regulations in Germany are.

I don't have to put up [...] the NRA.
Some people have demonstrated they shouldn't be allowed guns. Here's your so the rest of us can identify you.
When the round-ups start, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

I wasn't going to bite on that one, guess someone had to. Then again I just participated in an NRA Mid-Range Rifle match so what do I know?
-
-
How'd you do?
Dead-last place actually (10 shooters I think). The other shooters were VERY good though. A perfect score was 600 and there were several 598's. I scored around 430. I was also shooting the only truly high-power rifle there though, most shooters were using match-grade AR-15's and I had a bolt gun in 7mm Remington Magnum . I did finish though, which they weren't expecting since I was using such a high-recoiling rifle, the other guys expected me to tear up my shoulder and quit early. And I was generally hitting the target too. 600 yards is pretty easy with sandbags or a bipod, but this was prone and sling-supported only which I was not prepared for.

Especially paragraph 3 is IMHO too much common sense that it has to be codified
(for our non-German capable readers, the law is about when fumes or odors that enter your property have to be tolerated. Paragraph 3 states that it does not have to be tolerated if your neigbor built a "special pipe" to make sure that the fumes enter your property).

"Common sense" is one of the oldest oxymora in the book, and I won't even start about sense vs. lawyers and/or neighbors.

Painkillers: letting men be MEN since 400 BC (BCE)
I have about 2" worth of rubber recoil pad that greatly reduces the need for painkillers. Otherwise 10 - 15 shots is my limit.
-
Just enough shots to sight in the scope on my 12ga shotgun with 3 inch slugs was all I could take back when I used to hunt. Does that Remington have more recoil?
-
It's probably similar to 12-gauge slugs. I haven't shot slugs in a while so I might be misremembering. It's definitely much worse than #7 birdshot which I can shoot all day with either of my shotguns without discomfort.
-
It's probably similar to 12-gauge slugs.
A 7mm Rem Mag is a much sharper recoil than a 12ga slug. I would hazard a guess that the 7mm Rem Mag is a lot more tiring than 12ga slugs. I never found shooting slugs to make me sore.
-

Standard 12ga slugs are 2 3/4 inches. I was talking about 3 inch slugs, which have quite a bit more recoil. Standard size slugs deliver a bit over 2000 ft-lbs of energy, 3 inch slugs deliver around 4000 ft-lbs. They also make a 3 1/2 inch slug that delivers nearly 5000 ft-lbs, but I've never shot one.
Your 7mm Remington Magnum is a bit over 3000 ft-lbs with the most common ammo.

Mine's probably lower than that, I handload and I intentionally handload light with 120-grain bullets while 150 - 175 is the norm. I don't have a chrono yet, if I did I could calculate the muzzle energy.

And all of that only has a loose correlation on recoil. Very loose. It matters fuck-all.

I'm not going to try to convince you that widespread and easily available firearms are a bad thing, but if you think this is a reasonable argument to support it you're fucking retarded.

Good, because you'd be stupid to try to posit such a counterfactual.
In the US, crime rates have fallen along with the rise of guns.

Crime rates aren't strongly correlated with gun ownership. They're correlated more with economic status (which might itself correlate somewhat with gun ownership, but only because a gun doesn't cost nothing to purchase). However, it seems there's also a general reduction in the level of crime across a large part of the world and nobody's really sure why last I heard.

It's because of the promotion of Civilised Discourse.

I agree. Sounds like a fun time. I guess we'll all get together and have a picnic!

Goddamnit, @boomzilla finally snapped and was force-fed Prozac.

That's amusing. I think I have brought it up before, but way back in the day I used to do the same thing in order to hunt vermin at long range. IIRC, I handloaded with even lighter bullets. I went for the lightest boat tail bullets that I could get in .30 caliber.
Great minds and all that.
-
I do remember you mentioning handloading .300 Win Mag.
120-grain is the lightest .284 I could find. More than adequate for whitetail deer, and also has the advantage of being a really fast bullet which helps a lot with accuracy since my rifle was cheap. I wish I had a chrono to confirm because it's probably around 3,500 feet per second.
If I ever make it out west to go elk hunting, I'd probably step up to 175-grain.

That's the one. Shit. Forgive me, we have a newborn in the house and I am seriously sleep-deprived.
