A Rice Township police report about the June 20 incident says the officer, walking to the area where the gunfire was coming from along Church Road, had his hand on his holstered weapon, but never drew the gun as he repeatedly shouted “police.”
As the officer approached, Taney “became very irate, yelling that he was doing nothing wrong and knew his rights,” the report says.
Taney was target shooting into a densely wooded area behind his house. The officer checked with the township police chief, who told him no crime was being committed and there was nothing he could do unless Taney was shooting in an unsafe manner. No charges were filed. |

From the middle of the article, another of the supervisors..."defended the push for the gun ban in the municipal building in the wake of the shooting at a municipal building in Monroe County."
His "logic" goes like this: Someone violates laws against shooting at people, so let's pass another law that they would certainly violate if they intend to violate the shooting people law, because that will make us safer. |

| This is a case of a bunch of busy bodies that don't like guns trying to cause trouble. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
