It's redundant to see these studies reveal what we already know, but the repetician of the facts is eventually going to be effective on the populace, which may swing more folks to the realization of how we need to keep and bear arms.

Yesterday, while shooting clays and plinking .22's with my friends in the mountains, we had a visit from the Los Angeles Sherrif's Dept. where they made us aware that we could not shoot in the National forest in California. I had checked the hunting restrictions at the beginning of dove season to make sure I could hunt in the mountains above the San Fernando Valley, and found that I could hunt birds with a shotgun, but no rifle hunting was allowed in the area. There are no signs posted to restrict hunting or shooting, so we are just supposed to know the restrictions. So I can hunt, I just can't shoot?

Anyway, the deputies were very pleasant, didn't cite us or even take our names, just wanted us to stop shooting. One of them went on to state that most LEOs are pro 2A and to keep writing our representatives, though it might not do any good. They reluctantly enforced the law. KUDOS to the LASD.

I specifically asked at a Forest Service location in Lake Tahoe and was told that there are no shooting restrictions in the El Dorado National Forest. Where did they claim that the restriction comes from? These lands are under federal control and are outside the National Park system.
