Interesting example about the explosives. A friend who was a shotfirer says that you are supposed to post notices and inform the neighbours when you are about to commence blasting. However, someone just down the road regularly sets off dozens of ground shaking explosions, right on a busy road, without any such formalities. You can hear these blasts 15 km away in town. Nobody does anything though. I wouldn't like to be driving by when one of these went off.

What would you do if you were in a National Park and heard shooting? Rush over to investigate and ask to see their paperwork?

We'd just been to My FiL's funeral and had gone for a drive in his favourite place.. his forest. On a road named after him. With us was my neice who was about 9 at the time. I'd walked away from the group to have my own time and thoughts. Suddenly I was aware of motorbikes.. they were circling the car and the family.. Scaring my neice. Then they shot off up past me where I was on an old dam bank where there were some empty beer bottles.
I picked one up and lobbed it at the leaders head. My aim was true, he very nearly came off his bike trying to duck the incoming projectile. Next thing, I was standing on the dam bank with a dozen noisy motorbikes encircling me, Custers last stand. They tried the tough act .. I simply said, you have no right to be here doing what you are doing. They said, "We'll call the cops and have you arrested for attempted murder".

Myself; "I've got six witnesses who will claim you accosted them and I gave this deadhead plenty of warning of my intent as to where I was intending to place a bottle suspended in mid air. He had plenty of time to take avoiding measures or signify apology. I still had half a dozen beer bottles to throw at him or the rest of you, if he didn't." They looked at each other and left in unision.. No further words required.
