Attention So CA gun owners

For the past 60 years, gun enthusiasts have been firing rounds at the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club, the largest shooting range in Southern California.

I saw this on the news. I am thinking the SGGC is going to close. As soon as city council members start talking about lead poisening and gun safety, I got the hint they are going to shut it down. Doesn't mean I like it, but that is my gut feeling.

I especially like how people move next to a shooting range or some other similar noise maker like a race track or airfield and then proceed to complain about the noise and how they offending, existing noise maker should have to move. Simply amazing.

I wouldn't doubt theres some developers behind it, the city council is probably thinking about all the taxes on new homes that could be built there.

SGGC was there a long time before any houses were built in that area.

the noise thing is a tough one.
seems like they moved there, they should put up with it, but that's politics.

BUT= maybe the people at the club should consider banning non jacketed bullets or whatever.
i know in some places you can only use steel shot on birds for the lead reason.

at least get that point OUT of the antis argument, because lead poisoning is a very big , very real issue.

also making compromise makes things smoother usually

The noise issue should be a non-issue. CA has had a "range protection" law regarding noise complaints on the books since 1997. As long as the range was opened before any local noise level laws were passed, it is exempt.
