Here's an article about what some of you guys were talking about.

Cased Telescoping Ammunition in 6.8 caliber.

The US Army's new rifle.

You know you live in the country if......

You can stand in the middle of the road, out in front of your driveway,
and you can take a piss and smoke a joint simultaneously, and nobody cares....because there's nobody around...

Yep although, the Wife wondered where I had disappeared too however. So not exactly nobody around , but I like it that way.

 

[St. Phatty]

You can implement a dry septic system and nobody complains.

Actually the animals like it.

Imagine if you deposited all your house's premium #2 50 yards south, in suburbia. That would be your neighbor's backyard.

Your neighbors would not like it.

I've seen myself in that situation... twice this morning. I seldom waste a piss through the toilet, need it to mark boundaries!

You know you live in the country if there are more tumble weeds than people

Is the Mojave Desert country?
I mean,I'm sure you can piss anywhere you want but that forest is different

 

[right]

Yes heyday the Mojave, is most definitely the country

my grandpa logged the Mojave forest, he was good at his job

Country life is the lifestyle associated with those who live in rural areas, as opposed to to living in cities or their suburbs.

I thought this wiki quote mite clear up some confusion.

Really Babbabud ? That's pretty cool. Did he cut Joshuas or was it more like up in big bear up the mountain ?

 

[right]

I've worked as a ranch hand out in the desert, and it seems more country than say Memphis.

Local bears seem to know Thanksgiving was coming, showed up a couple nights early just to check though. Returned last night, Thanksgiving night, 5:46, right after it gets dark. Rolled the trash tote 20 ft, nothing really in it but a lot of smelly paper and plastic since we compost food stuff.
Hard to blame them, the food smell from cooking could still be smelled at 7:30 last night, due to inversion layer, bringing down neighbors smells that are uphill, like a river flowing over our house to the waterways below.

Bear smells impress the hell out of our four month old puppy, he tiptoes around the garbage can while looking over his shoulder.

You sing "Rudolph the Rednosed Raindeer" to the Deer in your front yard

and they run away in terror.

 

[flylowgethigh]

This afternoon I seen about 40 wild turkeys grazing on a little patch of grass in a harvested bean field as I drove by. I suppose they knew T'day was over so it was safe to come out, just like the deer know when gun season ends.

Country...

My neighbor was telling me about his Single Shot Black Powder club.

They shoot steel silhouettes, in an informal 6 hour tournament.


I wonder what would happen if someone tried to start a rifle club/range

in Eastern Silicon Valley, California, out near Livermore and the wind turbines.

That area is pretty wide open IMO. Just north of there is a private airstrip called "Funny Farm". My friend owned it - I would visit often before he died - and shooting guns there was no problem. I hate what has become of CA in the south.

 

[flylowgethigh]

That is my street

That is my street

assholes that abandon pets go to hell...

Yeah, one downside to living in the country.

My last 4 dawgs have been dumped on my country road and came in to my yard for help. Doesn't hurt that the existing dawgs invite them in. Seems like they really appreciate the place after being dumped and they tend to stick around and together. Around here dawg dumping also happens most around the holidays when it is cold and people are broke.

Gawd is watching.

I'm not sure there is a large range in California, one that lets you shoot at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards.

People who want to shoot might be in the minority in California, but there are still millions of them.

The one rule - about copper bullets - is not hard to accommodate.

You would need to talk with the Governor's office and several county offices to see where NIMBY'ism etc. wouldn't stop it.

Probably Marin is not a good choice.

You know you are in the country when your neighbor asks you to shoot what has been getting into his garbage if he doesnt shoot it first.
