"click that link, it's a PDF of the complaint, details of rock throwing and shooting, the landowner was prosecuted, it's nucking futs.
I guess this is like when we go on a 4x4 road through private land, stay on the road and keep moving?
Can a land owner "landscape" his property / the riverbed?"
Sounds to me like the guy is saying the bank of the river is public land. He will lose on that based on history of colo law.
I lived in MT for about five years. IIRC the land of a river from high water line to high water line is public land. I thnk this guy is confused. That said attempting tom assault someone withnrocks or weapons deserves to be prosecuted.
