Coyote Hunter using animal caller is mistaken for coyote and killed
A hunter in North Carolina who was using an electronic animal caller was fatally shot by a man with an AR-15 who said he mistook the sounds for coyotes roaming near his home, police and relatives said.
Michael Seth Marsh, 26, was killed late Monday in a wooded area in Taylorsville, about 60 miles northwest of Charlotte, as he was hunting coyotes with a 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle and an electronic coyote call, the Taylorsville Times reports.
Marsh, who served as pastor of Russell Gap Baptist Church, was shot several times in the chest with an AR-15 by a man who told police he heard coyotes screaming nearby and believed the animals had trapped something in a tree.
The man — later identified by authorities as Ronald Matthew Dunn, 31, of Taylorsville — said he then fired two shots at the brown and gray movement in the trees. Dunn later called police after he realized he had shot the hunter and not a wild animal.
Marsh was rushed to a nearby hospital, but he could not be saved. Marsh is survived by his wife, Katy, and two children, Braelynn and Isaac.
Alexander County Sheriff Chris Bowman said the shooter lived nearby and was unaware Marsh was in the area when he fired into the woods. Later Wednesday, Dunn was charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to the shooting. He was taken into custody in lieu of $75,000 bond and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday, sheriff officials announced.

The cartridge won't fire without gun powder.
maybe that the solution - banning gun powder
But. . . but. . . he was in fear for his life! He thought he had a gun!
Oh, wait, he's not a cop.
Never mind.
No, it isn't.
It is 2018, and you are not making any sense.
because she doesn't care about victims in Surrey. for her, it is all about disarming women so they are helpless against their much bigger attackers.
As long as we continue to break the world down into two categories: career criminals and everybody else, no sensible discussion is possible.
Which is OK, because it's been amply demonstrated that only two or three people on this thread want a sensible discussion to begin with.
Which is OK, because it's been amply demonstrated that only two or three people on this thread want a sensible discussion to begin with.
But they are two distinct categories. And the biggest problem is laws intended to control criminals and crazies are enforced on normal law abiding citizens at great expense and contributing very little to the intended result.
Also bear in mind this is a Canadian forum and our laws are already much stricter than most states and we still have regular shootings with mostly unregistered handguns. Most of our laws appear to have been written by a career bureaucrat that never owned a hunting file or shotgun.
And if you think those are the only two categories, you're even stupider than I thought.
One single example explodes your ridiculous world view. . .
Was Justin Bourqe a career criminal?
Of course not. He falls outside your childishly simple worldview, so your mind is not capable of recognizing his existence.
