[TheForge] local codes

[jerry_smith at anvilsandinkstudios.com]

If I found a pot patch, I would put the tiller on my JD and grind up the plants and then forget about finding them. But no one wants to jump the fence onto my property. I practice with my M1A regularly, I have a 100 yard and 148 yard range. 

Plus some of the locals who don't belong to gun clubs ask if they can come over and practice their close quarters combat skills. So we get a lot noise from firearms here. 

I have a section of my deck setup as a shooting platform, so I don't have to go more than 10 feet out of the kitchen to shoot ground hogs.
