Why do you keep comparing RC firing range to RC combat? Read the combat rules and you will see they do not match one another in the least bit. They are as close as u-line is to soaring. Are you trying to create a bad rap for the combat guys, because that's what your doing.
STL- Can there be any amount of rules governing Safe RC Gunnery Events from the AMA that would make the event not-reckless?
How the heck do I know. I'm not an AMA legislator or policy maker. Go ask your district rep that question, their more well suited.
the Society of RC Gunnery to publish Safety Standards & Issue Permits for RC Gunnery: Stadards that meet & far exceed the AMA standards for being around planes that can & will loose RX (combat). There... just abide by the standard safety rules, take the online test to show a working knowlege of them for your permit/waiver from the SoRCG, and you are not reckless in the eyes of the AMA... since the AMA is not the authourity on RC Gunnery Events but the SoRCG would be. Wanna have a RC Gunnery Event at your next club Combat Weekend? The ama club CD better make sure he is up to snuff on SoRCG standards, get a SoRCG Event Permit (free), and enforce/observe the safety requirements set forth by the SoRCG.
But will this SORCG also provide insurance, or just standards? Standards won't pay a lawsuit, will it? Rules shmools, where is the insurance? An insurance company will only provide insurance after a thorough analysis, been through it many times for custom quotes.
Let me ask you something Kid, do you own anything? Have you ever been sued before? Do you know what happens when you get sued and you have equity in something tangible? Take a wild guess.
