Thanks for all the info. I fear we are heading to a state in which you have to own private land or frequent a designated shooting range. I know they have all but zipped up southern Nevada. My Father and law works for Federal Parks at Lake Mead and started a program to draw up maps that will show where shooting is allowed in Clark County. Only issue down there is you can't off-road anywhere in the valley because the loons that moved in from other states and complained about dust. So BLM closed the trails all over the valley. First they start by closing the trails to motorized vehicles then they close the county for shooting (unless at a designated range). I think we should fight and keep Northern Nevada open for motorized vehicles and safe shooting.
Couple rules I live by
1. CLEAN UP YOUR TRASH...................hippies love to complain about all the garbage left behind by shooters. It's great fun to shoot up an old washer..........but one hippie on a Mt. bike complaing about your leftovers to all their friends is dangerous. A mob can change rule.
2. Don't shoot across Mt. Bike/hiking trails or even around them
3. Avoid areas where you know hikers, dirt bikes, and Mt. bike riders frequent.
Now that I am off my soap box I'm goanna go grab a breakfast sandwich. What I am trying to say here is the following. I love the freedom of this great State I was born in. I love shooting, off-roading, MX cross................and everything that makes this place fun. I want my son to share these experiences. The way we live should be the norm not the exception but I fear attitudes are shifting. I don't want to end up like Clark County.
Don't take this as a rant or someone looking for a fight...............just trying to give some perspective on the bigger picture that sadly was learned in Clark County. Sounds like our local Sherriff may need to be voted out of office.
