"It is really disconcerting to log onto a health and fitness site and see a thread about guns. With pictures of guns. I know it's not the first thread on this subject, and it won't be the last, but urgh"
My guns are a fitness tools;
Because I have them I can get fresh meat when I go hunting. I carry my hunting gear with me as I go hiking through the snow and sage grass carrying a 15 pound pack and 7 pound rifle. If I successfully harvest an animal I will have to field process the animal and hike it out, adding anywhere from few pounds to a few hundred pounds to the many miles back to camp.
Because I want to be a good shot, I will practice my skills. This will require me to hike into an area where I can safely and responsible discharge my weapons. I will carry in and haul out all my required gear and trash {plus some additional I pick-up along the way, leave the area better than you found it}. This usually means that I am bringing in targets; water; weapons and ammo. I have lightened the load a few times and only brought-in a compound bow, but still you are talking about 30 pounds of equipment.
I will not get into the strength training that I do cleaning the weapons.
As for why the topic got locked; Per Tom it boils down to "Divisive topics, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion.
So I think everytime a topic is opened that is not all inclusive we should e-mail Tom and ask him to lock it based on his own words.0 -

If we did that we would be acting childish and stooping to the level of the babies that got the original thread locked. So, count me in. :bigsmile:0
