Maybe, maybe not but in my experience you open the door an inch and sooner or later someone will stick their foot in and tell you how to live your life. Then it becomes up to some judge to interpret the law and lawyers to chalk up billable hours. I smell a rat, no several rats. I don't like...
Gee, I just figured this all out. For most of s it has nothing to do with safety or protecting anyone, It is just more money in Uncle Martin's Hope Chest.
As for the beetles and the cliffs, the beetles are more of an excuse than a problem. The reason the cliffs are almost vertical is because they are constantly being undercut by wave action. The typical slope tends towards 30 degrees which is much more stable. Put lots of rip rap to protect...
Lets let the weather improve a little and then do it. I think we can get cooperation with a target board and a shooting bench. Is 40 yards OK for a setup. That is fairly easy to do.
We shot a variety of targets last time:
I believe that is in April and May. If enough people respond to this I will see what I can do to make it happen. John was very helpful in helping set up the last patterning event.
The Wrong House - This should have been all over the major news networks.
Maybe I just don't read the right local papers. I just found out about it when a friend in Florida sent me the link. Why don't things like this make the front page of the major papers? I mean this happened next...
Yes, small but I did find a few things I wanted. I didn't see any great bargains in firearms but being a more local show you never know who will show up to dump stuff. I certainly wouldn't drive 2 hours to get there.
Never forget that there is a difference between weather and climate. Watch out for invading armadillos due to climate change. No, seriously, change does not happen in a straight line. I expect more chaotic conditions across the globe. We are probably in one of the better areas but don't make...
Damn that gravity but IT IS THE LAW. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Same for species. We are just at the beginning of figuring out how they interact and depend on each other. Look at the shark as an example, we are now learning about the problems created by removing the top predator...
Careful what you wish for. Mankind is subject to the same laws of population dynamics as any other species. We have just postponed population crashes with our medical and agricultural advances which are now starting to fail in some areas. We are now trying to deal with antibiotic resistant...
The beetle isn't the real problem. It is gravity. The natural shoreline processes undercut the bottom of the cliffs which is why they are vertical. Stop that process with rip rap and normal slope development will take over and the slope will retreat to about a 30 degree angle which is the...
