Just what was needed to further restrict shooting on NFS land.

Know your target and what is beyond.

Wow. I know we haven't met at a shoot/camping trip yet, but that made it feel more personal as you are an active member of the HTF. I'm sorry for your loss, and can't imagine what you are going through.

We will meet up some time I am sure. Thank you for your thoughts.

I know it sounds silly but I was kinda pissed that it is believed to be a .223 round. So very likely from an AR.

Damn.  Stupid.  People.  Stupiding.  

So...its legal to defend the lives of others with lethal force.   I wonder if its legal to shoot people firing their guns into the air in a celebratory fashion?  

Anyone a lawyer?

Sorry man.

It's probably the kind of person who got places like Left Hand Canyon closed.

Your family has our condolences.  What a tragedy to have happen on such a holiday.  I know my wife and I stopped at the one campground off hwy 67, south of the designated shooting area, and we could hear gunfire that was too close to be at the shooting area.  Someone has been doing this for a while, and now there is a death.  It devastated a family, and left a black eye on all gun owners.

The only thing I can say is sorry, especially with such a awful careless tragic death that was 100% preventable.

*Update*

No new information has been given by the police department at this time.

A Go Fund Me account has been created for my Uncle by his church to help the family with the funeral expenses and other miscellaneous cost associated with his passing.

Any donation is extremely appreciated. Thank you again for everyone's well wishes, prayers and condolences.

First off, Thank you very much. Most of the family is doing as well as I would expect.

My cousin who was there is really having a hard time. During the day she is staying busy with all the things to get done.

But at night she has not been sleeping and when she does sleep she is having night terrors. I think this is going to take her some time to cope with.
