Shooters being blamed for Snyder Creek Fire.

[JohnTRourke]

what's with all the tracers?

i have more than one round of ammo (think ammo fort, ammo furniture) and I certainly don't have any tracers in the house.

gimme a fucking break thats it's tracers.

i've never even seen anyone shoot tracers (except at machine gun shoots)

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. People love shinny things, most don't realize how fast a tracer can start a fire.

I hope its not a shooter.

Agreed, I am just hoping that is not a shooter's fault and that some dumb ass wasn't using tracers in dry land, because I have actually never seen a civilian shoot a tracer round (not saying that it couldn't happen).

They sell tracer and incendiary rounds at the gun shows for about a buck a round. Any idiot knows not to shoot them off during the dry season, just like no fireworks. Stupidity is no excuse. You start a fire due to negligence that is a felony arson charge.

Sorry Twitchy, I did not know they were the same place. Feel free to delete the thread.

No problem palepainter, I was just teasin ya about posting the same thing I did at the same time which I thought was funny. Kind answering the phone just before it rings. No need to delete, both threads have taken their own paths anyway.

My thoughts exactly and I would have also saved them for a night shoot for their "full effect".

There have been many cases of Arson up and down CO 285 in recent weeks. Unlikely they are all caused by shell casings. There are lots of wacko shooters, but more likely this is some nut case with a pack of matches!

You would be surprised at the amount of people that don't know that, even veterans that have shot it a lot. They don't equate that dot of light to be the miniature flare that it actually is. It won't always start a fire if there isn't anything to burn or if it isn't dry enough. Ignorance isn't an excuse though, just an explanation.

I thought the thread was about tracers not a Democrat convention
