Help Mike Beliveau preserve Duelist's Den from zoning tyrants.

[Dark Skies]

If you're into black powder revolvers, then you must surely have seen Mike's excellent videos.
He needs our help to fund a zoning appeal to preserve the right to shoot on his own property and bring us more shooting entertainment. So do chip in to the GoFundMe kitty and help fight petty local government toadies. The link is in his appeal video.

The details are in his YouTube video appeal. His range is for his own exclusive shooting and videos - he doesn't allow guests to shoot there due to not having insurance to cover them in the event of a mishap.

thanks! I only seen videos about this case from another YTber…. looks like someone got annoyed at his shooting and used there money to drag him thru the courts.

Happen to my brother in Arkansas

It happened to me here. Not shooting but any thing from working on my car to having any visitors. No blacksmithing ,welding or barbecuing. Just one call and I get threatened by the city. Will be moving 600 miles soon.

I have to admit my suspicions lay in some official toadying up to someone with influence / money. Perhaps someone fancies his land for their own and hopes to manoeuvre him to sell up.

Probably covered under Second Amendment. Remember COVID when they shut down gun stores and ranges.

 

[Eyrie G. Dogg]

Send lawyers, guns and money.

A worthy cause and we have to fight back.

were is that at? we can do any of the above in Seattle (except shooting of course) and nobody bats an eye. I’m a smoker, griller, and outdoor cooker… when I 1st move here, I would smoke pork on my apartment balcony right in the middle of downtown. Then I experienced with Indian cooking and would smell up the who block! Good times!

Also, Do you know were I can send Mike money directly? I’m not a fan of GoFundMe. Paypal F&F kindda way

He's making a killing. His goal was 10,000.00. It's at 58,169.00 already.

DANG!!! GOAL MET!

Wait till the seize the funds cuz of "guns" or what ever policy is broke due to not being an uber woke topic.
I sure hope it doesn't happen but it has before

Crikey! He reckoned the initial appeal would need about $10K due to the cost of specialist lawyers and the almost $1K to lodge it. Then maybe a further $20K to follow up. So looks like he's well positioned to win.

Until Covid and the lockdowns I was dating a gal in Seattle. Well, Everett, to be precise. I was disappointed at the rigmarole involved trying to rent a lane to shoot during my visits.
Vastly different experience to Ohio (I was once married to a lass from the Buckeye state). There I could walk in off the street and hire a gun and a lane with no issues. Also, shooting on her dad's farm (within sight of the main road) was just fine. Try that in the UK and SO11 would slot you before you could say 'curtain-twitcher'.

Mike can easily identify as Mechelle (She-Her) and They/Them can do nothing about it!!! I suggest everyone do the same! Art of War - Say fight them in they/them own weapons

Hmmm… I wonder if any of my neighbors are going to complain about me?

Indeed, one thing that really fires me up is a bunch of neighborhood Nazis.

 

[hawg]

That's one reason I hated living in town.

 

[Speedo66]

You want to see some real villains, try a HOA. A place I lived would only allow motorcycles in the garage, never to be seen on the driveway.

You want to read their rules very very closely before you buy in one.

 

[hawg]

I would never ever live somewhere that had a HOA. I don't like it when my closest neighbor is a mile away.
