But it is in the back of our minds every time.

We filed one over two folks detained over a local fire...not national security.

We got the answer from Cal Fire kind of on the side. Every local agency has been begging the DOI to ban shooting during fire season. Like it is in state and county lands. Guess what was the cause of the fire?

DOI had jurisdiction since the fire moved into federal lands, and Federal Rangers did the taking into custody shtick.

We are still waiting for an answer from the Feds...three weeks on. I consider that hardly transparent.
