It occurs to me you have another avenue to attack this issue. The hunters could file a federal 1983 action against the officer for arresting them in violation of the Unlawful Inclosures of Public Lands Act of 1885 that was cited in the article you linked earlier. You would almost certainly get...
It might cause District Attorneys to reconsider filing charges in these cases, but dismissal of charges in District Court doesn't create precedent. Only a ruling by the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court would legally validate corner crossing.
Edit to add: It shouldn't have even come to this...
I'm not sure there is actually a clear cut answer to this, but I would say it is definitely yours by the time you could get a ticket for not having it tagged.
He will end up pleading guilty after they reach a plea agreement. The negotiations don't start until after a plea is entered. This is just part of the process, not necessarily a recantation of his confession.
The usual problem is a gap between the pan and the barrel, not the pan and the lock, and that is fixed by inletting the lock a little deeper to eliminate the gap. I'm having trouble visualizing a gap between the pan and lock, but if that is the case, I'd try to find a better quality aftermarket...
I killed a moose with a .570 round ball over 85 grains of 2F in 2017. The bull staggered around, went down, and was dead before I reloaded. It was a broadside shot and I found the deformed, somewhat flattened ball in the ribs on the opposite side. It was about a 60 yard shot.
Something I missed was the two stars on the Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign ribbon, which indicates three awards of the ribbon for three different campaigns. If he served under Patton, that would have been North Africa in addition to Italy and France.
If he had railroad experience, it is pretty likely he was snatched from the infantry for ADSEC leading up to the Normandy invasion or shortly thereafter. The logistics from then until the end of the war were absolutely mind boggling and they had a lot more people who could shoot a rifle than...
The top ribbon is for a Good Conduct Medal. The first two on the second row are campaign ribbons. Left to right, I think they are "Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign, American Theatre Campaign, and the WWII Victory Ribbon.
It might be possible to get a copy of his discharge form. There was a fire at the storage facility in St. Louis during the 1960's I believe, but not all of the records were destroyed. It would list campaigns, decorations, etc. It isn't likely he was discharged in '42 unless he was seriously...
That there is evil in the world doesn't make it our problem. We have plenty to deal with right here and the people in NK can deal with theirs when they've had enough.
