I need to set the scene for this.
I shoot at a pit behind a locked gate. It's only 100 yards or so to the pit, so I load up my wheelbarrow in the back of the p/u, and put all my "stuff" in there to go up the hill to shoot.
I set up my bench, chrono, targets, etc and loaded to shoot some strings.
After my first shot, I hear someone call.
Turn to see a female SCSO deputy. She asks me to step away from the firearm. I do, and approach her. She says she is investigating a call of illegal dumping. I explain that this pit is little used by shooters, and I jealously guard against it being trashed like so many others that have become off-limits. She says it is apparent that there is no illegal dumping going on, and asks for my name so she can document that there was no violation. I acquiesce, tho it seems unnecessary. I'd rather not encourage her to look for some other reason to roust me.
She leaves, asking that I not return to my bench and AR until she is out of sight. I agree, so she can feel safe in her job.
So, tho my session was delayed a few minutes, it ended well, and we parted friends, or at least not adversarys.
It was sort of OC, but there were long arms as well as peestolas.
So, did you bust any caps this weekend?
