Howdy Houndsmen,Just wondering after about 5hrs worth of google searching,what charges can be pressed if a man has shut my coyote hounds Garmin off and then meets me and another coyote hunter,while holding my hound in one hand and a pistol in another,in a threatening way.We turned loose on ground we had permission to be on.We had permission in the whole block and this J.A. who is renting his home,decides to hold my dog while he's sporting about a 10" 44.
I thought we were going to have a dog lead vs handgun fight before he finally let him go.I think he knew I was serious.Anyway,I'm the type that normally takes care of things myself,but have a 13yr old girl to raise.So I need to be available for at least 5 more years.I live in Illinois,but still can't find the actual law.
I think an ag.battery,would come into play here,but really don't know.
I guess the thing is,what should I do if the law does nothing.I know what I can do,but would like to find out what the legal aspects are first.
