The kid got off easy. I would have done the same as you Ferm. You're smart to contact the property owner and inform him and let him handle it though. Kids that age do stupid stuff obviously and you don't want them shootin up your place for revenge after you beat his ***. I wouldn't worry about the cops, I would think they would be on your side. Common sense isn't common.

keep the video camera handy(these kids have theirs ready for utube at any moment), keep your cool, don't lay a hand on a minor. If they get the rifle out again, take video and call wildlife. I don't know about Fl. law, but their breaking five or six SC laws($$$$$) shooting at that gator. If they start smarting off to you, start recording, you'll be suprised how fast they back off, especially the parents. Keep your cool and play it smart

I think both the kid and mom should move back to their trailer park where they belong.

I bet if they did call the cops, they would have been on your side.

It would have been hard not to bust him upside his head.

OK, I am not at all knowledgeable about guns, but can a bullet really ricochet off of water?

You handled it right in my opinion. In the eyes of the law, If you lay a hand on the 17 yr old you are in the wrong. You really should have called the police. They would have started a turdstorm that the ungrateful youth and his mother would not soon forget.

Protect your family, whatever it takes.

The mother of the 17 yr old has no idea how serious this is, or could have been. She should have been begging you not to call the police, made her son apologize after admitting what he did and taken away his rifle on the spot. What is wrong with these people?
