[Utah-astronomy] Out in the sticks

I've never had a problem when out in the sticks or up in the hills. I have often had a pistol on my hip. I would tell people it was my snake gun. When told no snakes had been seen in the area I would tell them some snakes have 2 legs. Of course you have to avoid BATF roadblocks. The BATF(Bureau of Astromical Telescopes and Focusers) wants to confiscate full auto(computerized) scopes and scopes with sawed off barrells(short focal lengths and SCTs). Deloy Pierce
