Two unbelievable (in this day & age) things happened to me today. First, on my way to work, about 8 miles from my house I’ve been watching the start of a fairly large construction project. Nothing big yet, just earth moving. I’ve been wondering what it was going to be… another sub-division for the well to do who work in Charlotte NC but don’t want to live in the city (the commute is about 45 minutes)?… another huge “Outlet” Mall like the one on the other side of town? Well today they finally put up a sign. Did it read “Riverview Park” or “Monster Mall from Hell”? NOPE The sign Read “South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Public Rifle Range.” HOT DAMN! Only problem is that it is only going to be a 100-yard range and I can shot out to 300 on my landlords (until we close) land.
Then I get home and my oldest Daughter (14) tells me I have to sign something from school. Oh great I think, what the hell did she do. She hands me a form… is it a form about the minor accident her bus was in on Tuesday or another Field Trip release? NOPE “South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Hunter Education Program”. Seems that this is a required PE class!
Looks to me like SC Dept of Nat Resources has their priorities right!
Now do I fill out the form and grant permission for my daughter to “shoot a firearm for the purpose of safety and marksmanship instruction”? Wait until the Public Range opens and take her there and teach her myself. Or just walk her out back and teach her on the weekends?
I’M SOOOO CONFUSED!
