Colorado hunting boycott picking up.

I just wish more in-state hunters would show they cared as much as the rest of us do about our gun rights. I am still trying to think of the word that best suits these people.

They just legalized weed. I dont think they have the same priorities as the rest of us....

It will make no difference if willing bodies replace those who bail.
I hope the state revenues decline enough to send a signal, but I feel sorry for the guides and outfitters etc. who will suffer as a result.
It's always sad when good people have to suffer in order to stop or slow the *.

As a CO resident and rock ribbed conservative, I'm proud to say that I voted to decriminalize marijuana possession.

So you are one of the ones responsible for a Medical Pot farm two properties over from me. Let me think of the word for people of your ilk. I will post it soon.

What has happened since the farm started up?

The fellow and his friends have been out in the yard shooting guns all the time near my neighborhood. Sheriff had to be called to explain the error of his ways. Our property values have gone down because no one in their right mind wants to live near a pot farm with all that riffraff nearby.
Yes this is a free country, they have their right to be dopers and stoners and I have the right to not want them near me.
The only good thing about all the stoners not having to hide now, there will be tons more folks failing pre employment drug screening opening up more jobs for those who do not partake in stoning themselves.
I would not want a pot farm near me either. I don't want to be around those type of people. I don't like stoners, never have never will and I don't want to be around them. Pot farms nearby almost guarantee you will have stoners in the neighborhood.
What would you say if one of your neighbors made that same statement about someone that is a gun owner?
Meanwhile, back to our original topic:
I'll be surprised if any void made by people who object to Colorado's gun laws was not filled by others who simply want to hunt here.
I'd be shocked if any boycott, real or imagined, has any effect on Colorado politics at all.
And I'll be damned if I'll let any out-of-state keyboard ninja sit in judgement of my hunting practices.
As far as the Boycott,,it sounds good but how many small sporting/guide businesses are you will to put out of business to prove a point when the outcome will still be the same. Many many guys just like us depend on hunters to make a living,,are you willing to force them bankrupt to teach Colorado a lesson
If Grass is legal,then guns should be legal..
Grass is legal here also,.....just not growing right now.
Some day we will all learn that forced prohibition does NOT work. When they did it with booze you got the Gangsters like Al Capone. with drugs you get the Cartels. the next Prohibition will be against guns so what will they call us when that time comes.

Yes, it's a small dot in the big picture. However there are not enough people who care about the freedom of future generations to make a boycott effective.
I don't imbibe in the Demon Weed any more. But those of you who beat the drum of "Less Government" cannot possibly be for the continued criminalization of marijuana, can you?

The perfect example. If you don't care about the future, then you should be damned.

The medical pot regime has been in place for years before this current election decriminalized possession of small amounts.
But I'm still interested in the word that you can't think of for me.

Which "They"?

This is as ridiculous as me saying that until you clean up Memphis, you're contributing to the drug problem in Tennessee.
You want Colorado to change to suit you?
Fine.
Move here and add your vote to mine. Otherwise, don't presume to have the slightest hint of what I do to enact change.
Basically it is to save millions of tax dollars. Every time someone is caught with a tiny amount of weed in their pocket it costs the county's and state much more money than they ever see from fines and court costs. I was told recently that in our county here in Iowa, by the time they get everything done from first search to getting the accused out the door at the last court hearing it costs somewhere from $1000 to $2000, depending on the amout you were caught with. On average our county see's about 15 per month. So do the math. If it's going to save us that much money, well make it leagal than, cause no matter what people are still going to do it.
I'm all for it.
Sorry you have a farm near you. I wouldn't want to live near a steel foundry either. Or a convenience store. Or a hog farm.
