it isnt just the FEDERAL govt people are concerned about (ie some kind of total ban). currently i live in a fairly urban area (suburb of Charlotte NC). the only place i can legally fly mine right now is 'public space'. that would be things like city and county parks for example. there are other places that are technically private property that i can 'get away with it' because hysteria hasnt caused many of those places to clamp down on an activity like this. however, with bad press and morons doing stupid things, it wouldnt take much for my local govt to refuse abilty at the parks and for others around privately to stop me. that would leave me the ability to fly it in my yard or from my yard or drive miles out of town and try and find non-private property there. that kind of restriction could turn it into more of a headache for me to FIND somewhere i can legally do it than the amt of fun i get out of it. this may not matter for you (like birdfolk) that live in the middle of nowhere and have crap tons of fields everywhere that give you pretty much unrestricted fly places, but where i live, SMALL restrictions and reactions could have SIMILAR effects on me that an actual ban would.
so im not worried about an OUTRIGHT BAN, im concerned that general tightness in perceived safety and such could impact my ability to do it simply because of the things we are seeing (and being described in other posts already) |
