RE: Keeping Non Members off the field
Formerbug, I'd have to agree with you. I'd first place the blame on the trespasser. Above all else, they should not be doing that. There wouldn't be any problems if they didn't feel that the rules didn't pertain to them.
Dbcisco, don't get me wrong! I totally agree with you sentiment. If someone were trespassing on my property and not responding to reason (in other words, if they didn't leave the moment I said "Get off my property!") then the first thing I'd do is make a bee line for my firearm in order to protect my wife and young daughters. I wouldn't hesitate a single microsecond to drop the guy if he made a threatening move towards my family. I'm just saying it's too bad that we (people in general) have to bring it to that point when it comes to an RC flying field.

PS. As a person who grew up in D.C. and as a Redskins fan, I could not STAND anything to do with Texas (think "Cowboys"). However, last year my family and I drove all throughout the Southwest including a stop in Amarillo, TX. We fell in love with the place! Best food! Best hotel! We're thinking of taking our next vacation just in Amarillo specifically because of the food!!!!
