Now, with the city promising to prosecute him if he uses it, and a series of increasingly violent threats, the would-be target shooter has dismantled his range.
“I’ve gotten death threats out of this. People threatening to ‘SWAT’ my house, blowing it up with a bazooka,” Carannante told the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s been kind of scary. Sleeping with one eye open.”
It sounds to me like the only real threat was that of the city "promising to prosecute him if he uses it." He certainly doesn't sound like any gun rights advocate that we're familiar with, caving in over a few threats by the neighbors. And, interestingly, the ABC video report made no mention of the supposed threats by irate neighbors.
