Irate property owner arrested after firing shotgun at Ohio concealed handgun licenseholder

Dayton's CBS affiliate, WHIO TV, reported recently that a property owner fired a shotgun at a man and his son after they accidentally drove on the edge of his lawn.

From the article:

Max Lawson and his 16-year-old, Mentee, were out collecting used toys. At one home, they accidentally drove onto some grass near the driveway.

Deputies said Dennis Neumann then came out to complain. Lawson said he repeatedly apologized to Neumann and explained why he was there.

But, Neumann eventually pulled out a shotgun and fired toward Lawson and his child. Lawson, who has a concealed carry permit, pulled out his own gun and warn Neumann that if he fired again he would shoot back.

During the incident someone called 911 and officers arrived on scene soon after.

Neumann told deputies that he was upset Lawson was in his lawn because he had just planted grass seed.

Neumann was arrested and made his first court appearance on Monday. He was charged with aggravated menacing, inducing panic and discharging a firearm.

During the debate over concealed carry reform in Ohio, anti-self-defense extremists warned that concealed handgun licensees would turn minor disagreements into Wild West shootouts. But in this case, the CHL-holder showed remarkable restraint, choosing not to fire back even when he and his son were fired upon.
