Having a bad are we, young fellow? Would it have been less offensive to you had I used the expression "major crime centers" instead of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Its an awesome public facility used for CHL courses, competitions, and hunters ed. Considering Utah is a state of a mere 2 million people, I think its something that could easily be pulled off near several of the population centers here in Texas.

Just curious, and starting a conversation about it.

1. Is the Utah Fish and Game allowed to keep its proceeds or do the Utah F&G proceeds go into a General Fund to be used by the self-serving as it happens in Texas? Therein may lie part of the answer.

2. Why just the so-called population centers? We all pay our school and property taxes and F&G license as well as our DL and CHL fees, etc., etc. plus the land is cheaper and the inhabitants are nicer further away from Sodom and Gomorrah.

Just curious why there don't seem to be any at least in this part of the State.

SLOBS.

There used to be a shooting range on public land in the Houston area, but people abused it. They would do irresponsible things like bring an old TV and shoot it up, and leave the parts lying there. They (TPWD, I think) got tired of cleaning up the trash, so they closed it. A few bad apples spoiled it for everyone.
