“On that day, the range calendar shows that the rifle, and pistol range is closed for a work party, which would mean that there would have been no shooting on the range that day.”
In my misspent youth, I and some friends went to state owned and operated ranges on the days they were closed. That was very deliberate on our part.
Interesting. You seem to be here only to push your Examiner blog:

”This would have been impossible for a round fired from over 500 yards from the house to travel 24 feet through a house, gaining 48..............”
The powder burns on the siding are a little fishy also.-)
So n00b, what do you think about this story?
Or are you just pimpin’?
Welcome to FR - in all its fractious deliciousness. Ignore the yard dogs. They bark and occasionally step in their own poop, but they are essentially harmless. They do slobber quite a bit though.
Something similar happened in my town when the City Council was thinking of banning firearm discharges within the City Limits..
The most adamant..danger, danger, danger person’s neighbor’s window was shot out with a .22..According to him, the bullet was fired from a nearby property..His posited trajectory was the bullet had traveled from the “flats” up thirty feet, turned left about 200 feet, then turned right, for another 50 feet.
I always suspected he was the one who shot out his neighbor’s window to drum up support for his side of the argument. Happily, he failed.
Hang-fire!
GROAN :-)
As to the complaints about referring to this site, well, it is the only one I have seen that reported on this incident. I may have missed other sources, but I'm glad it was reported here. IMO, complaints about blog-pimping is starting to sound like the grammar police. Just click on the back page symbol and go on to the next article if offended.
I appreciate this report. We have California transplants here as well as a distant pistol range, so we'll keep an eye out for a similar manufactured incident.
Welcome to FR...just ignore the Snarks, they think they are the privileged, and it’s there job to make those new to the site feel unwelcome.
Carry On...Gun Rights is a righteous cause here on FR, don’t let the Snark Attacks effect you, they really are quite harmless.
This is a classic tactic by anti-gunners to get ranges closed.
It can also be uninvited guests on the range being irresponsible. We had that at my club. Two idiots decided to shoot at the range but not from the benches or firing line at all because they could not access them. (locked up)
Their bullets landed in a neighborhood over the berms that would be impossible if they shot from the lines.
People talk and the cops finally caught them.
To my way of thinking, this is a pretty significant detail.
Of course, to the Journ0List mind, this story is "fake but accurate."
FR is always interested in hard hitting factual articles -- except for the usual snarks in the weeds.
Welcome to FR.
I would just go inside at the first shot and call the county sheriff. The shooting quieted down after a bit.
There is a cost effective, safe way to have ranges in urban areas. Make them as “basements” under industrial park warehouses.
It is actually pretty prime real estate, because the cost of the place would be split with the warehouses, which are normally very expensive. Industrial parks often have a lot of parking, as well as good infrastructure, water and power. The biggest expense would be air conditioning.
As an urban range it would be a boon to police and others who need regular gun qualification, and it could be family friendly, retailing package foods and drinks, as well as ammo and gun accessories.
No worries about NIMBY with industrial zoning.
Does the resident of the affected house have or have access to a gun?
