Don’t Build Your House Behind A Road Sign

[shrapnel]

I’ve never understood the desire to shoot stuff that shouldn’t be shot. As gun owners we have more than enough to defend ourselves from, but road signs?

The original redneck shoot-n-c targets. Never understood it myself either.

I have always said.
"If you see a road sign without a bullet hole you're right behind the road sign replacement truck."

The conservation officer I do hunters Ed with shows a slide of a road sign with bullet holes in it. He asks the participants what’s wrong with this? And they all say something about bad image for hunters or ethics as the officer scrolls to the next slide and it’s the same picture but circled in the back of the picture is a house tucked in the woods that also had bullet holes in it.

We don't put sings on powder magazines for a reason.

IMO, I would bet money the amount of alcohol in the system is directly related to perforators. Its crazy some of the places I've seen signs shot, like residential neighborhoods.

Forest Service puts American flags on their signs and it seems to work. These signs are on the same road system the shot up signs were…

Had a drunk SOB put a 44 slug through my radiator once.

People will do reckless stuff when they think they can get away with it. Had a local BLM officer present at an OHA meeting this last spring, and he was talking about the bizarre affect the outdoors & feeling of seclusion has on people. Folks who have never had any sort of record, by all other means law abiding gun owners, get out into the forests a suddenly seem to forget everything about firearm safety.

Every thread about someone traveling to hunt someone says “be sure to check your 0”……

How are you supposed to do that without road signs? Bunch of hypocrites on here.

Old Appliances. I think that’s why guys always bring a freezer on elk hunts?

I used to be a deputy in Colorado high country. Went on a call once, vehicle shot at. Indeed, a wife was sitting in the passenger seat watching the husband fish. The bullet came thru her headrest and couldn’t have missed her by more than an inch. Sure enough, there was a sign 50 yards behind the van.
