thanks!! you pretty much said everything i was trying to say, regarding out of staters, and communist lawmakers. we see eye to eye

We certainly see a lot of out of staters flowing into my state as well. We call it the silent takeover. As with everything, some are really good people. Then there are those that move here fully intent on saving us from our ignorance and out dated ways. Evidently we are too stupid to make decisions for ourselves. But I think like this. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I don't go into someone else's area and demand that they come around to my way of thinking. I would expect to get run out on a rail. Don't come buy property and build a house next to me and then start a crusade to have my chicken houses torn down because you don't like the smell. Or you don't like the fact that we shoot doves or whatever and you can hear the gunfire. Me and the chickens were here first. Me and my guns were here first. But you are welcome to some eggs or to come shoot with us if you would like. If you don't like that you are free to leave at any time. I'll even help you pack!
Rant over, Very Touchy subject.

Welcome from Louisiana!
You may need to move away from those in majority who believe different than yourself!
I agree with others... a 300 WM will beat you up on a bench during a range trip.
Perhaps that 6.5 Creedmoor will fit and feel better on those range trips.

I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in Washington a long time ago. We were able shoot on Weyerhaeuser land back then. They had large strips of property. I don't know if they still allow trespassing today for shooters and hunters. Anyone from Washington have knowledge on that?

In Oregon, and I believe in WA also, Weyerhaeuser does not allow target shooting on their land, and you must pay to hunt on it. Those permits sell out quickly. They patrol it with a private security force, which I would bet has cameras all over the place.
