A man dialed 911, asking the dispatcher if he could shoot a skunk that was eating out of his garden.
The man was promptly told no, which begs the question: If a skunk was shot in a person’s backyard because it was eating out of a garden and nobody was around to hear it, did it make a sound?
In this case, yes. The sound of a gunshot at the critter would possibly be heard by a neighbor, who might then call Hutchinson police.
A visit by police for shots fired in city limits warrants a citation for unlawful discharge of a firearm, in violation of a city ordinance.

if in a private area, use a .22 short out of a rifle. The noise is negligible and not likely to call attention to what you are doing.
Shoot, shovel and shut up.

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
