Gutshot and I have been in contact with Don Dott of the Nature Preserve Commission and Dave Nicholas of the LRC. My impression was that Dave was friendly towards firearms, and I believe Gutshot's impression of Don was the same. There's just so much red tape and bureaucracy to cut through. My last correspondence with Dave was in Sept when he wrote, "It has to be reviewed by our committee and then referred to a second committee for review. Effective date early Dec. to Early Jan."
If anyone chooses to correspond with these individuals, I would take things calm, rational, and respectful. I still view these guys as resources rather than barriers. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, Gutshot.
