Interested?
This is an article in the Las Vegas Weekly, one of those free alt-newspapers you can pick up at the local convenience stores, etc.

Considering the source, I expected some real anti-gun verbiage. I was surprised.

(Can't wait for the range to open!!)

It's not surprising.Vegas has got some real conservative folks living there.
Vin Suprynowicz is a terrific pro-gun supporter who writes for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.His byline appears in numerous gun publications including Shotgun News.He's a Libertarian, like John Stossel.I don't agree with all his ideas ,but on guns he's great.Check him out here.He covers the full gamut topic wise.

Agreed. I like Vin.

Any unhappy Californians that would like to escape to a more gun friendly environment, this could be your opportunity.

$500,000 houses being sold cheap just because there's a gun park nearby? What a time for a West-Coast gunlover to relocate... :D
 
The "worlds largest shooting park" must have been made with that guy from the "Big guy and his little gun" thread, because he is definitely the worlds largest shooter...

Sorry
 
What a wonder read from the County.If my wife gives me the green light, I'll buy the house from the disgruntled lady from the PRNJ and retire in L.V.
What irony.

Lorraine Lennard, who had moved to Carmel Canyon from New Jersey, says, “When
I saw ‘parks’ I considered what most people would think, children and playgrounds. I didn’t consider the world’s largest shooting park.”
 
Hmm... might be time to invest in property for when I retire. :p

Only 28 years to go.
 
I hope those house drop by more than 25%.

I'd love to buy the future retirement home next to a gun park what a great idea.

As to Salesmen not informing clients I created a saying for this.

First I want to apologize to all honest salespeople.

There will be more murderers in heaven than salesmen.
 
The shooting park is located on 2,900 acres. Development of the site, however, is much smaller. A larger area was obtained to provide a buffer around the shooting areas and keep it away from residences. For instance, the Public Module will only disturb 178 acres, while the entire build out will disturb approximately 900 acres. The closest shooting to any residence will be one mile. The rest of the 2,000 acres will be managed as a desert natural area and protected from the off road vehicle damage, random shooting, and criminal activities that are now occurring on the property. This modern shooting park has been designed to protect the environment while providing safe shooting opportunities for the public and complies with all federal, state, and local codes and ordinances. It is estimated that 47% of the households in Clark County own a firearm. When completed this will be the only public shooting range in southern Nevada.
Sounds good to me!:neener:
 
To the folks from Connecticutt and New Jersey the only thing I have to say is, "Welcome to the West! If you don't like the way we do things out here, go back where you came from, because we don't intend to change to be like it is back there."

Probably because its easier just to set up some targets on random BLM land. :D

Also, I doubt a lot of you guys would really like Clark County's gun laws. Nevada has preemption, but Clark has an exception for its handgun registration coded into State law. The rest of Nevada does not have such requirements, and is generally fairly lax when it comes to gun laws.
 
I'll be glad to do a 1 for 1 swap to have my house a mile from the nearest gun range.
 
I have an outdoor range roughly 1/2 mile from my house in the suburbs of Annapolis. I can barely hear the shooting, and that's only if the wind is blowing my direction.

It sounds like somebody swinging a hammer a few streets away from my house. If I wasn't a gun nut, I would've never noticed the sound. My wife and neighbors had never heard it either until I pointed it out...and even then they had to struggle to hear it.

Of course, the sound might carry more in the desert.....

Easy big guy. In CT we post signs indicating there is a range on the property and guess what people still build $500K homes right on the boundary. Attempts have been made to shut down some ranges even ban fire arm discharge with town limits. The recent attempts have failed because we gun owners have worked very hard to shut these people down. IMHO one should always question the developer. They are, for the most part, out to make a buck most times at your expense. These home owners should have Googled the county meetings to find the agenda items.
 
I think the home owners have a right to be upset. The developer should have disclosed what was being planned next-door. It will be hard for the developer to claim that they didn't know a shooting park was being planned. Since this information could materially affect the value of the homes being built they had a duty to disclose it to potential buyers.
 
cops, nurses........so, anyone can afford $500,000 homes and 'greens fee's' on the area's prevailing wages. i am relocating there for sure and soon. discount houses and a range i can walk to . retirement never sounded better.
even a ex-realtor was bamboozled in a game i am sure he knows how to play. shame. for him, sad i do not feel.
 
I actually sympathize with the home owners not on the grounds that a shooting range is opening up next to them, but on the grounds that they were essentially defrauded into buying property that is different from what it was represented to be. Is the risk or noise nuisance from living so close to a shooting range something they should actually be concerned about? Probably not, but it is ultimately up to the homeowner to decide if they want to live there regardless.

If they were planning on building a nuclear power plant 1 mile from where I was thinking of buying, I'd want to know that too. In both instances, the risk would be minimal to nonexistant, but any oopsie could be catastrophic. Both would also have an impact on the price of the property I'd be looking at, which is not something to quickly discounted.
