Have to chime in on Bobs side on this one. Too many wackos out there, and those paintball guns look pretty realistic, especially at a distance. Anyone unexpectedly pointing one at me would be quite likely to receive an extremely unpleasant .44 caliber surprise. We were always taught that you never point any weapon at something you don't want to put holes in . . . 'Sides, all PWC operators aren't morons, it's just the morons that make the headlines. Give the jetski people a break. Most of 'em are regular guys and gals out havin' fun just like you and me. Just because you're burning carbohydrates instead of hydrocarbons doesn't give you any exclusive rights to the surface of our public waterways. Sorry to rant, but we all gotta learn a bit of tolerance for our fellow fools. ByeBye!
