Fabs like most of the younger generation you have the idea that if it wasn't invented in the last few years it isn't very usable.
I lived in the outdoors summer and winter..I didn't have any of these new wowsie fabrics. ya ever hear of down..or wool? ..My guns had stocks...Walnut..didn't need plastic.. Had paper shells..worked fine.. the new technology of hunting for the most part is unnecessary. People made out just fine. Without all this new technology we would as hunters be fine. Like most "new" things like the great cell phones..they create their own problems..from kids having them at age 7 in schools..not such a hot idea to people driving the beltways in your area at 75 MPH talkin on the phone and fixing their eye shadow..sheesh. . We made out fine for a few centuries without 'em. The bad thing is that if we had a breakdown in the technology today..so many people would be lost in space it isn't funny. Half the people in the Washington Metro area would go wild with out the technology we have..And Fabs..as far as the statement about people shooting the deer in your neighborhood...C'mon man, use some common sense. Even if it were legal and you were the hunter the police would be in the area in minutes. Would you worry about someone else's kids..Of course not because you know you are a safe person. You presuppose all your neighbors are not. One of the reasons I moved from the ES was my new (ex-Baltimore) neighbor called the cops when she heard gunfire in the area. I was shooting blackbirds on the farm. I didn't call the police when they were shooting off fireworks(not legal in Md) at 0 dark 30. I was perfectly legal but dealing with the police is NOT my favorite thing to do. Social engineering is not the cause for better things through big government. It is what causes so much loss of personal rights in the name of.... For the Common Good. It's usually not for any kind of good....just another form of control. It used to be legal to hunt in your area...Is it now? If it is...are you against it..in the name of safety? Are you a safe hunter? Why isn't someone else?? Just because of where I live..doesn't change the need for common sense and some of the laws in place. That was a ridiculous statement Fabs. I don't mind some of the laws we have either..but the need for common sense is even greater than the need for so many laws.. And making people responsible for their actions would be a big change for the better.
