We had a rash of paintball shootings over the weekend against some houses and cars. Does anyone have experience with this? Our answer has been stepped up curfew patrols, and talk to the parents of the detained juveniles.

Firing off a paintball gun at property is criminal. Find the people, have the police arrest them.Some Kind of Commando Leader

No, for whatever reason he detains non-criminal curfew violators, handcuffs them, then takes them to their parents in the patrol vehicle.
To me, this is criminal in itself, but nobody's called 911 on him yet.Some Kind of Commando Leader

Down here they'd get shot for brandishing in front of one of our many 'gun-friendly' Texans. Wouldn't have to worry 'bout 'em then. Seriously though, slap cuffs on them and call PD. IIRC, paintball guns are still considered a weapon...so public discharge is illegal...Comment

Also, If you catch them in the act, the paintball guns can be confiscated and turned over to the local police. They won't be getting them back since they were used in the commission of a crime.ATTN.

Do not slap cuffs on them unless your state authorizes you to make arrests. Then again, this guy cuffs kids who have not committed a violation of law, so why not?Some Kind of Commando Leader

Here we could arrest them for shooting a deadly missile at a building.
790.19 shooting into or throwing deadly missiles into dwellings, public or private buildings, occupied or not occupied; vessels, aircraft, buses, railroad cars, streetcars, or other vehicles.--Whoever, wantonly or maliciously, shoots at, within, or into, or throws any missile or hurls or projects a stone or other hard substance which would produce death or great bodily harm, at, within, or in any public or private building, occupied or unoccupied,or public or private bus or any train, locomotive, railway car, caboose, cable railway car, street railway car, monorail car, or vehicle of any kind which is being used or occupied by any person, or any boat, vessel, ship, or barge lying in or plying the waters of this state, or aircraft flying through the airspace of this state shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Keep in mind a woman was convicted of this for throwing an orange at someone in their apt.

I'm not sure a paintball could, unless the person aimed at a head, or was firing a hard projectile through it.Some Kind of Commando Leader

If there is a chance then it is considered a deadly weapon. So a paintball gun can cause GBH because if hit in the eye ud lose vision, I am sure if hit in the head in the right spot it coud kill you.Robert
