I was at cookout last night on the drive thru line. Suddenly there were gunshots around the corner of cookout. People started running away and people on the line got nervous.

My family cemetery is on a dirt road and people bought the land above it and have now put a gate up that is locked and says we have to call before we can enter and I was wondering if that's legal?
answered on Jul 7, 2021
The property owners have the right to restrict access to their land, but you also have a right to visit the graves of your ancestors. I would advise trying to work out a more long-term solution before bringing this all before the court. You can file a motion before the clerk to have a more... View More
