    It's dumb asses like that who give us a bad name and get the sport shutdown to private ranges and bullshit regulations.

    I also think it's up to us when we see people who make bad decisions like those on Memorial Day weekend to tell them what's wrong with what they are doing. Tactfully of course.

    As per the Tribune article, the errant round that went into someones home (and almost hit their kid) on Memorial day caused the USFS to close 280 acres of the Pawnee Grasslands to shooters.

    I can see where these situations will lead the forest service to close the rest of the grasslands eventually and likely other areas as well. Its just like the
    morons who leave all the trash--a few shitheads ruin it for the rest of us.

    of course, the only a-holes who don't care about the closure are the ones who's actions got it closed. I wish we could police our own

    And I was hoping to get up there within the next few weeks to do a little rattler hunting.

    Like someone above said, it's the irresponsible shooters who do the most to get our rights taken away.
