Because some idiot shot a 50cal with AP ammo and started a forest fire shooting in any National Forest in Arizona is not allowed now. There are signs all over but I was wondering what law it actually breaks. I will respect this request but still wonder about the legality and what fines, etc they can impose?

I wonder if this is just the start
I believe they will, stop all kinds of hunting and shooting since they are afraid this will be a year of reprisal against the illegal immigrants.
Want to wait until the elections and not to much collateral damage.
See if the people are behind them or not.
The legal people will not be a problem, it will be the illegals on both sides of the issue.

State parks are different than Forest's
At least that is what I am familiar with in my years of doing this stuff.
better have tags and be there with the right one at the right time.
