Me and my best shooting bud of 30 years, are finding our once rural county being over-run by subdivisions,among other issues.
One good old shooting buddy, with 3 ranges on his land, died of cancer a couple years ago, so that option's gone.
Some freinds that used to own a big grass farm that we had the free-reign of, had to sell out, so that's over.
Another couple "freinds" whose family property we used to use, have become full-blown criminal/junkies, are now in jail, and a family freind that is taking over is running off everyone that previously had permission to use the land (this just happened last week).
In another secluded spot out in the woods that my buddy's been using since he was a kid in the 70's, he's also been run off of by the cops.
There's a dirt road near me, that I've used for a quick "stop-n-pop" for years, but I always have to look over my shoulder, and even though we live in a very gun-freindly county (you may have seen our Sheriff's pro-gun,pro-America, pro-Christianity signs featured in the news and internet recently), I know I'll still get politely run off someday soon by the boys in the black SUV's.
After making a number of gun purchases that gives me 6 months membership at our big LGS's indoor range, I've always ignored it, because I hate the things.
Call me a caveman, but I like shooting out in the boonies, where we can shoot from 5 yards, or a thousand. Where we can shoot paper targets......or old propane tanks, TV's and toilets !
