Some Idahoans Aren't That Smart

I know I've been guilty of taking pot shots at odd objects when I go shooting from time to time. Glass bottles, odd looking tree branches, etc. No wildlife pot shots because I have a rule "if you shoot it, you eat it". I imagine squirrel doesn't taste all that great.

But some in Idaho are taking pot shots at a whole new level of targets: National Guard Tanks.

First off, shooting at tanks is a VERY bad idea. You are shooting at people. People who have guns. People who have guns who are inside tanks. People who know how to shoot who have guns who are inside tanks. If you need an explanation as to why you shouldn't be doing this then you shouldn't be owning a gun. You are endangering the lives of others as well as yourself. How is a National Guardsman supposed to know that you're just having fun instead of actively attacking them? Will they be justified in returning fire? I would argue they do.
