last hunting season my wife went out hunting on our property as she approached the deer blind that i built she realized there were kids playing in the deer blind she yelled at them to go home the kids took off running went home and told the parents that there was a person in the woods threating them with a gun. the parents called the cops and they showed up at the house with accusations. the cop left without ever seeing the gun. 3 months later the county pressed charges 3 felonious assaults with a dangerous weapon. 9 months later and several court days later the jury found her innocent. but now i have been left with a huge lawyers fee it has cost about 6,000 dollars and we have been told the only recourse we have is to sue the state to try to get our legal fees back any thoughts or ideas on how to help would be appreciated i live in michigan

I own property here in Ohio and this is what I have done and would do in your situation. I have posted "NO TRESPASSING" signs all over my property. If I caught ANYONE, kids included on my property I would call the Sheriff, report the incident and press charges if at all possible.
I know that this is "woulda, shoulda,coulda" advise but I don't think you have a rat's chance in hell of ever seeing your $6000 again.
Hey man, I feel for ya.

Do you have your property posted for tresspassing? Can you SUE your neighbours for tresspassing? I'd call the local Warden service, the NRA and a hunting group for help. That is so wrong, your neighbours should be ashamed of themselves and the kids are morons for "playing" in the woods during hunting season. That is OUR time in the woods. I'd sue the nighbours, the police department and the lawyers that brought this all about.
Good luck and HAPPY HUNTING. Dont stop hunting because of moronic neighbours.

Aww - i'm so sorry to take heed to about the shortcoming of your chum - it really is so demanding to bypass by that style of a difficulty. As a theory, have you ever considered searching for a quite some breed of horse? i recognize there are truthfully some breeds obtainable except those that you element out that could want to be staggering for what you're searching for. have you ever considered searching at a community horse rescue? i recognize that quite some the rescues have a lot of fairly valuable horses that folk in basic terms couldn't have the funds for to save anymore, and that i imagine you'd be taken aback on the resources that a rescue might want to be in a position to provide you. they could even recognize of someone contained in the area who's attempting to get rid of their horse. also, as everybody has suggested before me - it really is a very sturdy time to purchase a horse at present, because the marketplace is so down contained in the dumps.

I'm not a lawyer, but it's nice to hear a victory story over anti-gun idiots. My only thought would be to investigate what, if any, malicious prosecution laws that Michigan may have, and see if they apply to your case, but again, seek professional advice. Sorry about your loss, but if nothing else, you got one on the record for the good guys. Best of luck with your case!

Contact the NRA, GOA (Gun Owners of America), SAF (Second Amendment Foundation), and ACLU in your state.

you could try contacting someone with the nra, hunting organizations, or your local hunting/gun clubs could possibly point you in the direction of someone that can help you.
