What are you going to do when your leader declares it illegal to dress cowboy because it may offend? Its amazing, and expected , when reading the comments in comparison to the area the commentor lives in. So on one hand you're saying you can do something because your government says you can (ref: Medical Leave), and on the other hand you're accuse others of "rolling over" to the government. How do you decide which government directive is good and which one isn't? Your last comment is extraordinarily political and decisive if I'm reading you right. Just to be clear, are you saying that there is a correlation between one's position on mask wearing and where that person lives? Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing, and expected , when reading the comments in comparison to the area the commentor lives in. I think you may be conflating two different issues here. With respect to a government directive that I believe conflicts with my constitutional rights, I'm going to ignore it. I don't care at all whether the governor, mayor, president wants me to wear a mask. If they were to command it, I would ignore that command other than when it suited me, though I would also be prepared to pay a price for doing that. OTH, if a cowboy match said they wanted all participants to wear masks I would either not go, or honor the requirement, but I wouldn't go and then ignore the directive. That's because I have a lot more respect for my pards than I do for politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume, the ONLY reason a club would succumb to the idiotic mandatory mask, would be because of government directive. All the directives have medical clause. I fit in that clause. I go to Costco, the grocery store, the gun store, sportsmans wearhouse, etc...no one says a word-except at costco...when they mention a mask I just say "medical" and they say no more . They are directed by management not to-in order to avoid suit. (My wife works there-so, not hearsay) At least in NC-the "governors directive" is , legally, tenuous at best, since he did not go the correct route. If, a club was liberal enough to have an idiotic mandatory mask rule without a government directive..then I am either living in the wrong state or visiting the wrong state. So, the hypothetical-would you shoot at a match that required a mask, question..the answer is "yes, I would, without a mask" because I am exempt legally. I cannot fathom the hypothetical of a club being so far left that they would do it voluntarily without mandate.....thats not a club I would have ever been to in the first place.

This is- beyond a doubt- the dumbest, most insulting post that I've seen on the SASS Website during this entire Covid period of time. You've managed to insult any person who wears a protective mask (be it for any reason), the clubs that follows safety guidelines, a person that lives in any state that follows safety guidelines and anyone who doesn't see it the way you see it is a left wing, liberal idiot. All I can say is that I really don't have anything against your horse, if you're smart enough to read between the lines. I am damn glad that I don't shoot with you.

Marshal Hangtree Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I really don't enjoy matches during the summer heat and humidity anyway. I love shooting, and hanging out with the pards, but being miserable when I'm supposed to be having fun is not in the cards for me. I won't go back to a match until probably October, so the mask won't be an issue then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get this straight. You're at a match where some of our older, less healthy pards are shooting. Some have diabetes, some have asthma, some are practically a million years old. They have legitimate reasons to fear Covid. You're going to ignore a rule designed to either protect them, or at the least put their minds at ease, and the reason you'll cite is YOUR medical situation. Holy sh**!

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If I wanted to attend the match and masks were required - I would wear a mask. If I was marginal about going to the match - a requirement for a mask might keep me home. But regardless - either I attend under the conditions, requirements and directives of the match or I dont attend. Just like I wouldnt show up at Cowboy with 1911 and AR and expect the club to bend to my will - I will not attend a match and attempt to change their directives. The requiring of wearing a mask is the clubs call (unless a range, or local/ state requirement) and I am not going to question or debate the right of a club to run their match as they see fit. Your opinion is not meaningless or without value AND you have every right to express your opinion to the club leaders respectfully. But at the end of the day if you don't like how a club runs their matches; be it stage writing, target placement, range rules or ANY required safety equipment - then start your own club or stay home.

Wyatt Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 A few years ago, a shooter I had known for years, came up to me and extended his hand. Of course I shook his hand. I asked how are you doing? To my dismay his answer was, I have a case of flu but I’m not feeling bad today Some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee, SASS #266 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 We have shot matches this summer at some clubs where the timer operator is the only one required to wear mask.

Tequila Shooter Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes as long as I don't have to wear it while shooting(foggy glasses). If it makes pards that are high risk feel better and allows them to get out and shoot I'm ok with it. If I get hot or start to feel uncomfortable I can always move away from folks and take it off for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Around here we haven't had any matches where masks are mandatory, though I believe all of them suggest wearing them. In practice there are a few shooters who for their own reasons wear masks for the majority of the match. The rest don't wear them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Pick your battles, Men. Wearing a mask does NOT equal "compliance". No more than not wearing a mask shows how Freedom Loving you are.

Come November it’s going to get ugly no matter who wins. Different kinds of ugly, but I don’t see either side getting reconciled with what the other has in mind. Rioting and mayhem, or the erosion of civil rights and whatever follows that. Pretty much a guarantee we get one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null N. Void Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The clubs I shoot with have set it up so we are outside and can distance the necessary 6 feet. Loading tables are set up so there is no more than two people on the table. I like that on the loading table and will encourage that it will continue after we are through all this. I don't like to be crowded. Because of being outside and easily maintained 6 foot separation, masks are not necessary. If you want to wear one, you may.

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 If it is a club/shoot I want to go to and they require masks then yes! If the encourage them I probably won't wear one but I will forego my usual hug and try to maintain some social distance. If I don't feel well I'm staying home. As should anyone who doesn't feel well or safe should! Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
