Can't say that on this one. Not only did it get a unanimous YES vote, it also had several Republican sponsors

So no muzzle loader season? Incendiary type weapon last time I checked. Its definitely a pucker factor when hunting high country early season knowing you could potentially start a fire after a shot.

Muzzleloaders don't normally send flaming material out beyond the end of the barrel. All the powder burns inside the barrel. I doubt you'd get a fire started with a muzzleloader even if you tried.

Anyone have any facts on how many fires these things have caused in this state?

[j_h_nimrod]

We need to ban cigarettes! They are the most common source of human caused fires. Not sure of real figures but would figure probably 1000 times more than exploding targets or Chinese lanterns. Exploding targets, from my experience, pose a very small fire danger. There is little expended heat during the explosion and no flame as an ignition source.

Just goes to show the ignorance of our legislators.

Maybe there is something I am missing, I think the legislators have good intentions, but I am really tired of seeing so many new laws passed.   

The Road to Hell is paved with GOOD intentions. 

I had a conversation with Representative Blake and this was a topic we discussed. The primary purpose seems to be to protect private land owners from fire dangers. This may help encourage private landowners to keep their lands open to public use. With that in mind I'm in favor of this bill and have changed my vote to yes.

This is the first time I've every read a post from you where you sold your vote and threw principal out the window.

IMHO they need to stop making laws that are none of their business.  Even throwing principal out the window, I don't see how it protect anyone.  Why not just let private land owners decide if they want them on their land?  Am I missing something?

Enough with dumb laws.  How about these guys go through the books and voiding all the dumb laws.  Much better use of their time.

I talked with a legislator about this bill, I found out it was introduced to try and keep more private lands open for public access in western Washington, that's why legislators on both sides of the isle supported it. Just passing on what I was told, not saying it's necessarily right, but I have to admit, it's hard to disagree with the reasoning.

But by description couldnt it fall under the restricted use laws?  I'm going to go start a fire...

I've been running into a few people out and about using these targets. The bill was signed by Governor Inslee and effective June 12, 2014 it would be a crime to violate this law.

I read the bill at the beginning but was not clear on what lands are covered and did not want to read back through three pages. Does this pertain to DNR only or is federal land covered as well?

[timberfaller]

More about control than anything else.  IF they were that concerned about starting fires, THEN they should concentrate on the CATS on DNR vehicles.  I know of two wildland wildfires started by DNR vehicles in the Methow Valley and their HOT CATS.

Any bets the DNR won't fight the EPA??   Any bets Jay Inslee doesn't know what a CAT is

Statewide, no matter who owns the land. As far as I know there was already a federal provision banning the use of the targets on USFS lands...
