Not in AZ. Here they often encourage firearm use. A few years ago a man shot a mountain biker in an area out in the desert, but where there are always people. I've ridden there many times myself and I know people who stay there all winter long in trailers. There were other people waving arms and yelling to stop shooting. The man shot was permanently injured. He was a peace officer of some kind. What was the response of the county DA? No charges. That's right, none, zero, nada. The stories about AZ being a toxic place are true. There are many, many, good people here, but the nutjobs are in charge.
