Our "range attorney" attended a meeting that is held several times a year in Sacramento where the State DOJ, law enforcement, BATFE and those concerned about shooting, rules, regulations, ETC can attend. I was told it is not open to the public and our man in the grey suit goes to each one. The protection thing was sort of a shocker to me and most other RO's. So far as I know we haven't had anyone not use some sort of hearing protection and also eye protection since our RO's ride herd on the shooters closely.

We are also looking into how the San Diego County can "close" BLM land in two places here near Dulzura since some shooters started a pretty large fire there a couple years ago when shooting tracer ammo in their AR-15's. We don't allow tracer except for the military when the bring out their M2's for shipboard security training. That is usually a "night shoot" and they also shoot trap with their night vision goggles which is interesting to watch! Anyways the federal rangers didn't even attend the county supervisors meetings where local home owners showed doctored images and said the shooters were using full auto rifles and lots of other stuff that wasn't really true but the county closed things. Fortunately for us our shooting range is private property and we meet all the federal guidelines!
