From a guy in Florida :
My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "gunsshould be banned", etc.).
So this past spring I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party.
The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to makeme take down the sign.
Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such action without a court order and that hehad to file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed by the cityattorney to see if it violated any city, county, or state ordinances, whichif there was a violation a court order would be sent to the offending party(me) to "remove the sign in seven days."
After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch)and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made himmadder.
I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and myfriends at the hunt club but that seemed tomake him even more angry.
I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice I did not say friendship),any suggestions would be welcome.
Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how about yours?
