Rant and rave on the internet but not worth the effort to do something that could make a difference.

Blaming others for giving up their rights while you do the same thing.

Shooter444 doesn't respond as usual.
He has pretty much been MIA since it was brought up that he could possibly be good old Leverman himself.

That never crossed my mind, until now..... Although I'm not quite convinced that Leverman was that cranky

begining of the end for the area for basic desert shooting, blm will do what they do, eventually control it with rules , regs and time frames, the slow death of what was a really decent area to shoot, ect.
bummer, as now those that covet desert shooting will have to go out farther,
and frankly once it gets trashed, they will either close it or manage it to death, i get a kick out of them thinking that structures and shades and benches make a range, its just bigger targets for the a..holes that don't have respect for anything, one can tell by the trash they leave.
i come home with at least a couple trash cans full of trash and casings, on any trip, just don't get the mentality of not packing it in and then out.
must think their mama is gonna pick up after them
so long baldy mt desert range

Well they've designated areas for "temporary construction closures" but no start dates or planned durations. I hope the brain trust is at least smart enough to do closures during fire restrictions when shooting is curtailed anyways.

Will these be un-policed, free ranges?

Sorry if these questions have already been answered I haven't had a chance to read through everything yet.

I guess those of us on the east side should consider ourselves lucky we're not included.

Yeah, they dumped a ton of money into a fence around the first one, and closed the land around the second. Nothing to write home about.
