Blue Collar Christian said: "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 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.
"Today, over 68% of public land -- land belonging to the people of the United States -- the land in our National Parks, Preserves and Monuments, is designated as a United Nations World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve or both. Worse yet, United Nations' land designations, such as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites, currently take place without the approval of Congress and with no Congressional oversight. Nor are State and local officials, or even private landowners, usually consulted."
