Humboldt County farmers have been complaining of stray bullets hitting too close to home, prompting the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to ask the sheriff's office and the county's attorney to draft an ordinance to put an end to reckless shooting on public land.
Shakefork Community Farm in Carlotta sits on prime land just east of Highway 101. Owner Kevin Cunningham said the sound of bullets is common in his area.
"The property is bordered by the Van Duzen River, as well as Cummings Creek on the side; it's about 45 open acres. The entire property is about 85 acres, so we got about 40 acres of river and trees," said Cunningham.
Cunningham said his land by the creek and river make it a perfect spot for recreational shooting. |

Oh, yes. Pass an ordinance. I'm sure THAT will make a-holes behave responsibly.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
