I don't believe in gov't protecting people from themselves.
What is stupid to some is bliss to others. I don't particularly see mountain climbing or high country snowmobiling as smart risk and would never do them but I would hate to see them banned just on principle. What I or some municipal councilor thinks is meaningless or should be. At least federal laws have to go through some fairly rigorous debate and careful consideration from multiple angles. It really scares me to think what some one-sided municipal council could come up with.
I believe its important to see the mountian through the trees on a potentially precident setting incident such as this. Would we want some municipal council banning hunting from the near city bow zones etc.
Good luck in court!
