Hi, Does anybody know of any cemeteries to shoot at in the Orange County, CA area? Thanks! Mar 03 15 05:34 pm Link Marquita Lopez wrote: Not recommended, not respectable...

My opinion,(FWIW--there are plenty who disagree with me) is that it's better to ask permission than forgiveness. Not everyone is as forgiving as your pastor.

And isn't it worth the good karma to not disrespect any person who would be offended? Mar 04 15 08:36 pm Link There's nothing there but dirt. We come from organic matter, we go back to organic matter. Grandma isn't there. This being said, you could get arrested, it is private property usually. Be nice, explain that it's for artistic purposes not something creepy and ask for permission.
