To Outback, Nope, I got it. His presumption of innocence was removed when a witness provided evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that there existed a proof of guilt. Bong
Did I miss something? The guy was walking down (or across) a R/R track, on the way to his truck. The only Witness was Officer Chris Nix.
If it happened that way, the charge was bogus. Wearing camo and carrying a rifle does not mean he was "hunting" from the R/R tracks. The judge claiming the AG's opinion irrelevant is BullSchit! The AG opinion was specifically applicable in this case.
I also happen to know and respect Chris Nix. He's an intelligent and energetic kid with good old fashion common sense. Like any of us, though, he can be wrong sometimes. I figure it's like this; A) There's more to the story than we've heard here. B) Chris misinterpreted the intent of the law and made a mistake.
If it is illegal to wear camo and carry a gun across R/R tracks, then there's about 8,000 acres of the Lowndes WMA that is simply not accessible to hunters.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.
