Default RE: Sunset in NY law

OK, here's a scenerio for us to think about. Legal shooting time stops at 6:15 PM, but by whos watch? There are three of us who are working in my office right now, and I just checked all three of our watches, and the clock on the wall, between all of them there is a difference of almost 10 minutes. SO, again I ask, who's watch do we go by. Is the encon officer's watch more reliable than mine? Maybe, but maybe not.

This is why the law should be changed to end shooting time when it is too dark to safely do so. In much the same with our law here in NY for driving too fast, but under the legal limit. Speed not reasonable. Well, then make it a violation for shooting when there isn't enough light to reasonably insure a safe shot. The law should not be tied to a clock.

Ok, flame away
