80-Something Year old Neighbor Packin' Heat (JT ER2)

[iamthelazerviking]

The other night I go outside with my kid and wife, small talk with the widowed next door neighbor. I had been blasting a tree in my backyard with my M170R earlier and she asks "was that you shooting earlier? A pellet gun?" I say it's paintball and then she says ooOooh and brings out a box with a JT ER2, 12 grams, dust 10 round tubes of old paint. She was very sweet and said I could have the old dimpled paintballs if I needed more.

She got this to shoot at deer and turkey vultures that used to flock and congregate in a tree we since cut down. Our town is a suburb, but close to mountains so it's normal to see an abundance of wildlife. She told us a story of how someone called the cops on her and they showed up to her door asking if someone was shooting and she said "yes that was me" and the cop went on defense mode and undid his holster. Right then his partner comes around the corner yelling "did you see that giant bird?!"

Apparently you can't shoo these things away using paintballs/anything that can hurt them because they are a protected species in Utah.

I don't generally approve of shooting paintballs at wildlife, but admittedly the old lady rocking an ER2 and then stepping up to the cops makes me chuckle

[Pyrate Jim]

I need to find a lady like that around here.

Sounds like a fun lady. I’ve used pgp’s to pop nuisance bears on my porch and in my garbage. The BLOOP and tap on the haunches sends ‘em running real quick

I have an old VM that is called "Chicken Killer". I also have something a lot meaner called "Dead Crow".

A friend of mines grandma had a bunch of acres we used to play renegade at. But up by the house she had a pond that Canadian geese would always flock to, and she hated trying to clean up at of their crap. So she bought a 98 Custom, CO2, and hopper from one of my other buddies and would rain paint on them. Then she'd just go hose down the grass and forget about it.

Ive capped several varmints with PB guns but always in the butt. There was one large trash panda I was dealing with at my old house. I shot him so many times in the butt he just started ignoring it. And eventually me and him learned to share the yard. We cool. His friends were a bunch of cowards though.

I shot a racoon with a BB gun when I was a kid. Right in the face. It just hissed at me ssooo I ran.
