Tipping point.

I think the tipping point has been officially reached.

http://www.ijreview.com/2016/01/523779-new-legislation-makes-gun-free-zones-the-target/

And it's about time. Let’s hope other states follow their lead. It's certainly a step in the right direction.

A friend told me about this at work, so the link is just from a quick Google search. Sorry if it doesn't work. I'll check in after work.

Ants in my apple trees

Any advice on a non chemical way to keep them off? I've been knocking them off with the sprinkler, but they're right back when I remove the sprinkler.

Thank you,
Mog

Public land target practice? (montana)

Having recently moved from ND to MT, I have very little knowledge regarding public land and what shooting activities are allowed on it. I have direct access to national forest on three sides of my home, and would appreciate any shared knowledge regarding what is and is not allowed and also what if any permits are required. I had year round shooting on my own property in ND, and am now renting a place with no shooting allowed. I rarely went a day without pulling a trigger and am starting to miss it.

If this thread is not allowed here, let me know and I will gladly delete it.

Thank you in advance,
Mog

It's an old article, but I just saw it. Seems to explain alot.

"You don’t need to have a gun; the police will protect you."
"If people carry guns, there will be murders over parking spaces and neighborhood basketball games."
"I’m a pacifist. Enlightened, spiritually aware people shouldn’t own guns."
"I’d rather be raped than have some redneck militia type try to rescue me."

How often have you heard these statements from misguided advocates of victim disarmament, or even woefully uninformed relatives and neighbors? Why do people cling so tightly to these beliefs, in the face of incontrovertible evidence that they are wrong? Why do they get so furiously angry when gun owners point out that their arguments are factually and logically incorrect? How can you communicate with these people who seem to be out of touch with reality and rational thought? One approach to help you deal with anti-gun people is to understand their psychological processes. Once you understand why these people behave so irrationally, you can communicate more effectively with them.

Interesting article. I only copied the first two paragraphs because I'm not sure how much cut & paste is allowed here. Regardless the article kind of describes some of the people who have driven me away from posting much here.
