Default Road Trash?

I have been getting hit by bugs, rocks, or something on the left side ,just out of my drive, at about the same place every time. The next time I rode that way, I scanned the houses to my left
and sure enough a kid in a wheelchair was firing a BB gun at me! I pulled in the drive, the kid rolled into the house. I beeped my horn but no one came out. Got the address, gonna talk to Daddy? No telling how many things he's shot, or car windows.
What do you think I should do? This is wierd!
I found a BB in the sleeve of my hoodie. Thanks!
Hell, I hope he ain't got a .22!

Yep, talk to his parent,or legal guardian and if that does'nt work call S.O. and let them take care of it. I got one of the worst whippings I ever had for just pointing a B.B. gun at my cousin and threatening to shoot him (just being a stupid 11 yo) . Lesson learned.

This is very dangerous! What if he hit you in the face or eye. Call your local law enforcement. Whats next? A 22!

Dont feel sorry for him being handicapped.

+1. It wouldn't matter that he's handicapped if he hits you in the eye either. Just a kid who needs dad to give him a little "direction". Dad wont certainly woop his butt, but if he is reasonable, atleast the BB gun will be gone. This time it was you, and everything's fine. Next time, it may be an unexperienced rider who goes down because of it.

I'd tell his Dad before going to the cops. Cops are last resort round these parts...

You gotta let someone know whether it is his old man or the LEOs.

Call the police. He's shooting at traffic. I wouldn't leave this up to parental discipline unless I knew his parents were willing to stop him from SHOOTING at traffic.

The police will confiscate his weapon, right?

Knock his *** out of the wheel chair. I'm sure people who witness seeing a biker doing this to a kid in a wheel chair will not be caught off guard to much . It's the opinion of what the public thinks of bikers anyways.
