I read the same thing! Guess you can't practice with your bow in your own yard in the city!!

The 2008 Burnet County population was 44,488. Probably a little more now. I don't see it being a problem here but not good overall.

Amazing how they come up with magic numbers. How and why did they arrive at those numbers? What do they go by....the last census? Populations, especially in the bigger cities, change daily. If this passes, I see lots of problems.

OK.....I think I have this figured out. If you live in one of these areas that would be affected and you can't use your "weapons", even on your own property, then all of the bad guys will have to abide also and not use their "weapons". GREAT! It's a great deal as the crime rates will drop drastically in our populated areas! Wow....what took them so long to figure this out??

Think I'll go out and butt a stump.
