There R so many,it is hard to pick one....the populace is "losing it",abhorrent behavior is the norm,and
has become so common place..it is NON news. Airplane travel is the worst I think..."OH I FORGOT"
when they confiscate a gun,knife,LIVE EXOTIC ANIMALS in plastic containers,fighting with the flight
attendants,drunk and belligerent,refusing to wear masks...it is a reflection of just how low our society has
slid.....into the gutter.

I'm always interested in the intent of a post... what is the point a poster is trying to make. My guess is that Wayne is trying to say that there is no need for anyone to carry a weapon, but if they do, they usually misuse it. Am I close?

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

MY question to U.....HOW MANY GUN OWNERS r out practicing on a regular basis? R they proficient
and respectful of range rules.....thru PERSONAL experience, Buffalo Gun Club near Bailey has had a
problem with idiots who do not know gun etiquette and it is an on going problem.

There is a decided difference in owning a gun and KNOWING the power it holds...it's called RESPECTFUL
REFLECTION.

HA, your personal experience?
Are you a member of the Buffalo Creek Gun Club (correct name)?
I am and have been for 15 years. I have yet to see " idiots who do not know gun etiquette" at the Camp Fickes Shooting Range.

Also, if you feel that " it is an on going problem." I would ask you to attend one of our monthly Zoom meetings, (in person meetings will be begin when allowed by Jeffco) and air your experiences. In that range officers have not raised the issue I am sure your instances with corroboration will be appreciated.

For those unfamiliar with the BCGC, I would refer you to:

MY SPOUSE was in the club...prior to our move. He and our next door neighbor (Frank Mckeon,perhaps U
know him)were up there most weekdays,as "rangers"(I forgot the exact title). They helped re construction of
the range, mitigation,supervising and general club membership duties.....there were BUCKETS PROVIDED FOR SPENT SHELLS....which were ignored and clean up for "brass" was common. As I recall there
were several ranges used for several DIFFERENT PURPOSES...my husband and Frank were FOREVER
collecting the spent brass just laying on the ground...Ranges were being used inappropriately and
gun etiquette NOT being observed....NOW,PERHAPS that has changed, I doubt it...because the
range at Harris park was being abused also.....HAS THAT CHANGED?
