Agreed, this is a no win discussion. Move along folks... Nothing to
see here...

Subject: [Texascavers] caves versus guns
Guns and caves don't mix. I recall a cenTex caver who was coming
out of a cave when the landowner started shooting at a rattlesnake
sitting on a ledge in the same sinkhole. They guy was blasting away
at it with a 30/30 from a yard away, apparently oblivious to the
ricochets.
Some folks behave responsibly when they play with guns, many do
not. Gun play is the polar opposite of the type of attention and
consideration of cause and effect often required in caving. If you
showed up for a caving trip with a gun, I would consider you a
reckless dumbass.
