RE: Time to act

in Outdoors and more3 years ago

I know, and in a way I was a bit surprised the decision was made to revoke membership, a decision I had nothing to do with. The problem is that if it wasn't dealt with effectively a precedent is set I guess; at least this the membership-base is under no misconceptions abour how safety breaches are going to be handled. It su led to have to be the person to start the process however I take firearms safety seriously and I couldn't not act.

There's no leeway here when incidents happen Kris, an accidental shooting would probably see an end to the range.

Sort:  

Totally understand the concerns. Our rules were set back in a time when accidents were not as big of a deal, just another accident, made the news, people went about their business. The political climate here is now in similar shape where a single event no matter how unlikely of repetition would be the cause of left wing outcry and closure.

It's sad really. I mean safety should never take a holiday where firearms are concerned but the reactions of society government and media are rarely justified, warranted or logical. Society plays along from there like lemmings.
