    I don't know about all the exploding targets out there but tannerite does not start fires. I don't know what would happen if you mixed something else with it...might be possible then but it is not supposed to start fires in and of itself.

    This strikes me as a knee jerk reaction and a stepping stone towards getting tannerite and shooting in general banned from public areas.

    ^ That was my concern.

    Like I said if there real concern is fire why are they not banning all the other things that cause forest fires?

    Shooters have gotten blamed for a number of fires the last few years then the truth comes out and we were wrongly blamed. Fires started intentionally by arsonists. Sadly the media hasn't tried to exonerate us for their wrong accusations.

    Mmm ... I'd say negligent shooters have in fact been correctly blamed in many cases. I'm not aware of any dispute that the Springer fire last year was caused by idiots shooting at propane canisters. Putting our heads in the sand about stupid things like misusing flammables in the midst of a tinderbox doesn't help us fight the gun banners.

    "they" do ban other things in dry weather, campfires, cooking over an open fire to name a few including smoking....

    I don't think they are really a major problem. Neither are forest rangers burning "Dear John" letters in the middle of a burn ban in Pike National Forest, but that little bitch caused the Haymen fire. You can only cover what you can cover.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    As of 2006, the #1 cause of forest fires was humans (83%)... the rest was lightning- although lightning is responsible for the most area destruction fires. Of that, I cannot find a single figure on "shooting/shooting related" causes, most are irresponsible campfires, trash/slash burning, and industrial use in wooded areas. I imagine cigarettes could be a part of that.
