mykeal I too disagree with the rule but it's intention is there for the boneheads who can't grasp the concept that there is no such thing as a safety on a gun. The range which I belonged to in Arizona for many years was and still is a "Cold Range.". That being said they've had two discharges which involved injuries, the first was a range master who decided to end his life. That one still bothers me 25+ years later because he was a friend and nobody saw it coming. The second was much more humorous, it was an RSO giving a concealed class and he discharged into his left arm while holding the weapon across his chest. There are now "clearing barrels" filled with sand outside of each building. The "Cold Range" rule had no effect on either of these incidents. Do I agree with the rule? Emphatically NO!! But we'll never really know if this particular rule has ever actually worked as it's really hard to gauge how many people would have removed themselves from the gene pool if it wasn't in place.
Now....
I need to find out if I can legally carry concealed inside of Yellowstone Park. The law changed a few years ago allowing assembled firearms inside the park. We've got company arriving tomorrow from TX and are planning on doing the tourist thing on Friday through Yellowstone. I'd hate to leave it in the car but on the other hand, I'd like a federal gun charge even less. Anybody got any ideas?
