Shooting on BLM land is now illegal for the rest of fire season. Battalion Chief Clayton Howe says, "Doesn't mean people won't do it but gives the agencies the ability to enforce," and recommends contacting the Sheriff's Office if you see anyone shooting. The BLM South Coast Area and Eastern San Diego East County Mountains Area now fully restrict any recreational shooting for the balance of the fire season. In 2012 seven nearby fires were caused by shooting during the Shockey Fire. Last year's Otay Fire was also caused by target shooting. Time to go to the gun ranges for practice. PLEASE don't take unnecessary chances. —Thank you to Robin B and Coral T for forwarding this info.
