Friday, I took the day off and went whitewater kayaking on the Mokelumne river. A gentleman who paddled with us had driven down from Washington and camped in the area. On Thursday he was checking out the river when he came upon 2 young men in full camo, shooting their AR's into the river from above.
Many people use a river, swimmers, sunbathers, hikers, kayakers, rafters, fishermen and gold prospectors. Not only is shooting into any river. lake or reservoir illegal, it's very unsafe. This is one of the behaviors that turns people who are ambivalent about guns against us.
Please keep in mind when you are out there that you represent all gun owners, your actions can paint a negative or positive picture in the eyes of none gun owners. You can say "Screw em, it's my constitutional right" but that really doesn't help our cause. People vote and people contact their elected representatives. Laws change.
Find a good safe back stop and clean up your targets and brass. Be courteous and considerate to other people. Your actions effect all of us.
