GHROCKETMAN: for my personal or family launched I just hit the local park. Parks and rec is actually fine with that, but Cobb county (Atlanta, GA) actually has a law prohibiting organized model rocket events.
Crazy, but true.

That *is* crazy. A club--which has by-laws and has to uphold certain standards of behavior among its members (especially if it's a NAR Section, or a Scouts or 4-H rocket group)--is ^LESS^ likely to cause any problems at a park than an individual space modeler or a family, because a few of them *are* rogues; a club that consists of such folks seldom has the cohesiveness and mutual cooperation to stay in existence for very long. This needs to be pointed out to the county commission as well as to the parks & recreation folks. |
