Why public lands must remain in public hands
When you get into hunting/sportsman's issues, you might find yourself surprised at how politically...moderate it can be. I was.My wife's extended family is really into hunting so I ended up taking a gun safety course to get my hunting license. A LOT of gun safety is preached there. Don't brandish your weapons or your prey publicly; keep them to yourself. Always assume a gun is loaded. When carrying a loaded gun, hold it a certain way. When walking with a loaded gun, don't point more than 15-20 degrees in either direction if someone is standing next to you. Lock your guns separately from your ammo. And so on.There are a lot of environmentalists (preservationists?) working for the state in this field as well. Managing deer population levels, preventing forest fires, not littering, that kind of thing.So while I was a bit surprised to see a 'red state' kind of company advocating for federal control of these lands, I suppose I shouldn't have been. There's a lot of room for nuance in this country.
