Ok I made my point in the previous post. But honestly I feel too many of you guys are missing the point this bill is strictly about safety, andfor our own good. Too many excuses are being made here about why they shouldn't have to wear a little orange. I mean come on give me a break alreadly. Not 1 person here can't say they hate seeing orange on other hunters while hunting, or that their choice to wear camo doesn't place themselves at a higher risk. Ya gotta be totally ignorant if you don't!
Oh, and just to set your minds at ease, and maybe put your foot in your mouths. That 18yr old hunter is now 41yrs old. He had very minimal hunter safety 23yrs ago. That day taught me a very valuable lesson, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Nowadays I work in law enforcement, and train with weapons several times a year. Thats why I mentioned being in the line of fire. If your in the direction of a gunshot, whether on the ground, or 20 ft up in a tree. Your in the line of fire, and trust me Ricochets happen. I've seen plenty of them on the firing range.
So please guys use your heads here. ThisBill is directed towards safety its a win win for all of us. No one in law enforcement likes to notify family members of a hunting accident or death. Plus noone that causes the accident wants to be in those shoes. The charges, lawsuits, and living out a life knowing you shot someone is no picinic. Pass the law, and be safer. The orange won't kill ya!!!!!!!!!!!
