There’s a bunch of DNR land by me, none of which is open to shooting mostly because slobs with guns couldn’t clean up after themselves. If this means more land would be open to shooting, where do I sign? Side note. I think some people just jump to this being bad. Not sure that’s the case here. Slow down and read.

Slow down and read.I am right here,I did read it.Like i said at a glance(i read the whole thing)It's not clear what it all means.2nd i'm not sure it really matters what the public votes on this yes or no the DNR has authority to regulate this with or without our vote.Meaning if they want it closed they can,If they want to build it but don't want to pay for it they wont unless funding from somewhere comes into play to pay.IF THIS MEANS?What if it means more than just that?Did you read it?where is the clarification that some of us are not seeing?Including you.Or was that a mistake to post "IF IT MEANS"?"IF and PROBABLY" are not words to show that you read and understand what is being proposed.Lets all vote yes and see whats in it after it passes.
It seems ripe to be followed with a bill that says no target shooting on dnr land in non designated areas.

I could definitely see that happening. And I don't want to shoot in a designated area. I like to find spots in remote areas where I can shoot all by myself.
Tough issue, on one hand slobs are trashing the state and ruining opportunity for good citizens, the slobs are causing trouble in all corners of the state, on the other hand I understand people not trusting government regarding shooting opportunities in WA. Perhaps if there was stronger language assuring shooting opportunities?(3) The department must work with interested stakeholders to evaluate and designate additional recreational target shooting areas on department-managed lands in any county where state lands have been closed to recreational shooting.

Slobs irritate me to no end but we all give them $35 for Discovery Passes. Maybe they can actually do something worthwhile with some of the money.. clean up.

I can tell you this from participating on the Governors Parks & Recreation Task Force, I brought up cleaning state lands, nobody else on the Task Force seemed interested, the priority is putting the money towards funding State Parks.
