Bayfront Resident Fires At Boat To Protect Home

OCEAN CITY -- It’s always a tragic event when a property owner has to resort to gunfire to defend his or her home. Luckily, this time the threat came in the form of an unmanned boat propelled by storm surge.

During Hurricane Sandy on Monday, Eden Roc Hotel owner Bill Salvatore found himself faced with an incredibly unusual situation: a roughly 30-foot boat hurtling toward his home.

According to Salvatore, who lives on Marlin Drive off 21st Street, concerned neighbors called him Monday morning to report that a rogue boat had slipped whatever was securing it and was being pushed by waves and surge from the hurricane towards his home.

    What a freakin IDIOT! I am a hunter and gun owner and can find no other words that are safe to use here other than IDIOT!!! He should be charged with unlawfully discharging a firearm in the city limits as well as putting others in danger. If I were this man I would not have wanted this story published let alone admit I shot at a boat with a "deer rifle". This is the exact type of person that gives guns the bad rap. He seriously needs to consider a firearms safe handling course for himself to learn the dangers of what he has done!

    I don't think he's an idiot. The idiot is the boat's owner whose boat was not secured properly. I know in FL it is not unheard of for a runaway boat to slam into homes and cause major damage. I'm sure it happens elsewhere too.
