Semi-hypothetical: do you turn yourself in?
This story was on the news tonight: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_28...-by-apparently

To save you the trouble of reading it, a family was camping in a national forest, and a stray bullet from some recreational shooters killed one of them. It was apparently a high-powered rifle, and the presumption is that it wasn't intentional. The area is popular with recreational shooters, and someone apparently fired a round in the woods that was really unlucky.

The question marks in this story are:

1. Shooting is not allowed within 150 yards of a campsite, though it's not clear if the family was at a formal campsite. For that matter, maybe the ban isn't just for formal campsites. The article doesn't explain the specifics.

2. There has been some friction with shooters in the general area recently, and an occupied Jeep was hit last year, prompting a ban on shooting in an area not too far from this area.

3. We don't know at this point if the shooter even knows that he/she shot someone. They may have no idea where their bullets were landing.


So my question to you is, assume that you are the shooter. You didn't go out into the woods with any malice, but you were shooting and a person is dead. What do you think are the odds that you'll get away with it? Do you turn yourself in, or do you lay really, really low and pray to every deity of every religion that you won't get caught?

Multi-part poll to follow on full automatic.

I'll back of the piece of shit part but good morals should take over. I'd still turn myself in. I killed a man. That's pretty heavy.

I wouldn't. Wasn't done on purpose and if I was 150 yards away from the site like the rules state, I can probably live with that.

I'd bury my gun where it would never be found, maybe melt down the barrel. I would then never tell anyone about it ever.

A similar thing happened close to my hometown four years ago. Two guys in their 20's were target shooting in a rural setting, one of the AR rounds ended up killing a retired guy on his own property a couple hundred yards away. Unbelievably bad luck, the round ricocheted and killed the guy while he was working on his combine. Not sure how the two were identified, a couple years after the accident the shooter was given a suspended sentence for manslaughter.

With knowledge of that incident I'd hand myself over, but jeezus what a crummy spot to find yourself in. What a crummier spot for the deceased and his family.

The time is what would make me think twice about turning myself in. I don't want to get raped in prison.

So is it really the time, or is it the rape?

How do I know some over-zealous prosecutor won't turn it from an accident into something more sinister?
Wait a minute, what would you be doing with such an evil firearm to begin with?

Wouldn't have shot if I didn't feel my life was in danger, and if I felt that way then I'll back it up by going to the po-po.
