ArmedBear Your range sounds like a great place, and smartly run as well. And I suppose I should go ahead and state that I, a non-member looking in from the outside, wasn't exactly impressed with the manner in which the gun club fought the city.
I know they hired a lawyer and then kept all their plans hush-hush so as not to telegraph their every move. They also banned .50 BMG on the weekends as a concession to the hillside residents. Later they banned .50 BMG completely and closed earlier in order to appease those same residents. Also, they sold T-shirts that said "Save the Range" to try to get people informed. Not exactly the most creative or sophisticated way to get public support. I don't know if they hired a P.R. person or not, but in hindsight they probably should have spent the money on that instead of the lawyer.
Well, I'm stuck without a favorite place to shoot now. Care to give me the name and address of your favorite place? If it isn't too far, I might want to give it a shot (no pun intended). Thanks for caring enough to actually post, BTW.
