Yesterday afternoon I swung by the range to have a poke through the shop there, and the DEP and DPS had just shut the place down.
Now, on the site (http://www.bluetrailrange.com/) it still says that it's just the 200 yard range, but I went out again today, and it's the 100 yard range as well. The only things up and running at the moment are the indoor .22 range, the shop, and I guess the snack bar.
Possibly life will go on, but if you're in CT now would be a good time to show support, as I get the impression that Mr. Lyman is feeling understandably discouraged. Rifle ranges run as businesses typically don't generate the kind of money real estate developers have available, and Blue Trail has been fighting for survival for a while I think.
