citations being issued at spenceville range

[Merc1138]

If this non lead rule applies to Ground squirrels , this state will be infested in a year. They aren't worth shooting with non lead ammo

For city people(SF, Sac, etc.) who come up with this crap, they'd rather not have you killing squirrels(pest control) in the first place.

Annnnnnd where did the op go?

[teg33]

Op go because he's the one that got citation for bringing junks/littering.

[AreWeFree]

I'll say again. OP is either purposefully lying for some reason, or sorely misinformed, ignorant, and confused...and spreading what is commonly known on this website as FUD.

The term appeared as far back as the 1920s.[4][5] A similar formulation "doubts fears and uncertainties" reaches back to 1965.[6] By 1975, the term was already appearing abbreviated as FUD in marketing and sales contexts:[7]
FUD was first defined with its specific current meaning by Gene Amdahl the same year, 1975, after he left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl Corp.: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering Amdahl products."[8] The term has also been attributed to veteran Morgan Stanley computer analyst Ulrich Weil.

I posted this as a heads up. my boss, lives by the range. when I shoot, I am always there an hour before sunrise so I get my favorite bench, so no, I am not posting to scare people away. i, did not get cited. make of it what you will, call total bull**** if you want.......but as previously posted, i am not a liar.

It would stop a lot of the rhetoric and namecalling if we knew the details of the citation. You made a statement with no details just like now. What has your boss to do with this? Did he witness this? Are there any regs posted at range as to ammo type and target types? Next time you are there takes pics of any signage to show what is allowed please and post on here in this thread..

[edgerly779]

I bought the tin 22 lr and it is crap. I have found a lot of non lead 6.8 and .223 bullets reasonable priced over last couple years so i load mostly with that.

[nine mil thrill]

edgerly, yes my boss witnessed it.

[bounty1]

The globals are warming.Don't forget also to piss on a tree to conserve water and when at home do like the liberals don't flush except after three loads and most of all the only acceptable lead is that in your pencil unless you've gone trans.

I would also like more information. I shoot at Oroville often, which is also within a wildlife area and managed by DFW.

There are signs there stating 'paper or clay targets only', but nothing about non-lead ammunition.

edgerly, yes my boss witnessed it.

Then your boss is lying, sorely misinformed, confused or ignorant. There were no citations issued for target shooting with lead bullets. Plain and simple. He may as well say that people were given speeding tickets for driving red cars. Or call your semi-auto PA10 an assault rifle. Or your Sig a Glock.

Trash, litter, and shooting televisions and other junk? Hell yes, and I'll say again, GOOD. But no one was cited at a target range for lead bullets. I guarantee it.

I did hear of a guy who was cited for a wildlife violation for shooting steel targets, which I think is complete BS if it was done safely. But, range rules (which are clearly posted) say "paper and clay only".

Oroville is fine to shoot lead ammo, don't worry. Just stick to paper and clay targets, as is allowed, and you'll be fine. I've shot tens of thousands of rounds there, plenty of those next to a green DFG truck while BS'ing with the wardens, and never had an issue. The dude next to me who set up glass bottles and shot them...well, he had an issue.

why do you mock people who choose freedom?

Being pushed from your home by gun laws is about the most un free thing I can think of.

I can forgive your FUD post; it's the lack of capital letters I have a problem with.

You are missing the point. No one is saying, "absolutely nothing happened, no incident whatsoever." What they are saying is a citation wasn't issued for shooting lead bullets at targets because it's not illegal. Your boss may have seen a citation issued but it would have been for some other violation. Did your boss hear the conversation between the officer and the violator? Did he see the citation?
