I'm not sure about that area, but typically whens there's a burn ban shooting in the forest is not legal.

They know what target shooting is, it's not a new thing they overlooked. If shooting was prohibited the signs would say no shooting. What's the sheriff going to do, arrest you for doing something not prohibited?

Ive only run into one sheriff and that was at the hamilton pit years ago. Didnt know I needed a discover pass because the damn sign is on the LEFT side of the entry road. He stopped me as I was driving in, let me leave with a warning, said if I was parked in the pit shooting he would have ticketed me. He wasn't a dick about it but I could tell he could turn into one at the drop of a hat. My fear was running into sheriff that was having a bad day so I bailed. |

Link to DNR Commissioner's Order
Not sure how to imbed a pdf. Let's see if this works: As mentioned several posts up, discharging of firearms is not specifically mentioned. I am not a lawyer, so you will have to rely on your own interpretation. HTH Edit: bloody bugger it didn't work... |

I used to wonder how banning recreational shooting would prevent fires. Then yesterday a group of idiots up near darrington decided to shoot clays using dragonsbreath rounds. Only the lack of any wind and a quick fire/dnr response kept the fire under an acre.

Some 'tards shoot incendiary ammo too. |

Then yesterday a group of idiots up near darrington decided to shoot clays using dragonsbreath rounds. Only the lack of any wind and a quick fire/dnr response kept the fire under an acre. The only time Ive witnessed a fire started from gunfire was on the range at Ft Stewart. We were firing tracers every 5th round in the M60. Fire ensued down range. It was a hot/dry day. Other than that Ive never seen or concerned myself with the possibility of starting a fire from shooting ball ammo. But being older and wiser (aka: OCD) and having more to lose by inadvertantly causing a wildfire, I err on the side caution these days. Start a fire in the woods and get jammed up for it you can consider your life over because they'll hang you out to dry.

Gifford Pinchot NF has been closed to shooting (and camp fires) since July 2nd. Camped twice since then and ignored it. If they can't bother to post any signs (only signs posted are about the fire ban), I can't be bothered to care. We shoot suppressed subsonics the whole time so we're not bothering others or attracting attention.
