I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life watching people take risk they simply didn’t need to take (thus making it the most dangerous occupation). I see the same with many gun owners, the new-to-guns bunch is as bad as the old WW-II generation in their carelessness and ignorance of firearms risk mitigation.

The ‘guns are my religion’ …cammo clothing on the Christmas card bunch… teaching your age 5 child how to shoot a man’s pistol… and leaving it accessible on the nightstand… You are just plain stupid and endangering everyone’s gun rights.

I support Ada in suspending while the gun groups learn how to unload and keep unloaded all guns in a show. The other motivation is the $$ payout the county has had to make to injured people from past stupidity at these shows.

Crapo is as crappo as obama. We must somehow get term limits.

If anybody was surprised at his gun show pronouncements, they just haven’t been payin’ attention.

EDITOR NOTE–With $4,000,000 in his war chest and no opposition, it would seem that reelection is a foregone conclusion.

EDITOR NOTE–Rod, like me you still call it the FAIRGROUNDS. It is always confusing when you try to refer to HAWKS FIELD, LES BOIS PARK, and EXPO IDAHO. Is the whole place called
Expo which would place Les Bois Park (not to be confused with the horse race track) at Expo Idaho? Or…is EXPO and all the other venues at the FAIRGROUNDS? Kinda like trying to decide who belongs to the blue turf…Bronco Stadium, Lyle Smith, Boise State, or Albertson. We are just a little irreverent at times.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE. HEre is official word from Ada County: “Expo Idaho is the approximately 240 acres of Ada County-owned land (in unincorporated Ada County), south of the Boise River, at Glenwood and Chinden. The property includes Memorial Stadium (not Hawks), the Boise Riverside RV Park, Western Idaho Fair facilities, Exposition Buildings, Les Bois Park, the Turf Club, Lady Bird Park, and a one mile section of the Boise Greenbelt pathway, paralleling the Boise River. Hope that helps.”

This is another point on that terrible record.

If the show makes money for the county, it should be allowed to continue.

No races, less shows, watershed problems, that dog is going to be put down soon. Then what?
Growth and development, that’s what will happen at that location.
Maybe an awesome indoor gun range!

They have had a YEAR to deal with this issue and they waited until the day before to cry about a truthful ad in the paper that indicated they have shut down the shows????!!!!

The three stooges need to go!

Increase the budget of the ATF to hire 200 more agents. In all likely hood this is not going to happen thanks to Eric Holder fast and furious scandal. Congress wants to decrease the ATF’s Budget.

Increase mental health access by $500-million. Again congress must approve this spending amount.

Add more FBI personnel to help process background checks. Again Congress must approve monies here as well.

Sadly, I doubt with some like Mike Crapo this won’t happen.

Liability wise I don’t blame the Ada Commishes one bit.
