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.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
