I'll never hunt turkey on public land again. 25 years ago had an incident deer hunting on public land that cured me of hunting during hunting seasons on public land for life. The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.

When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun! "Turdlike".... in record time
