The only ‘fair’ thing about what happened to range owner Jim Faire is that the range lads will be far more valuable as home sites. Project Appleseed will go on, and will spread because shooting is as American an activity as exists.
Political instability also has recently increased interest in shooting.
“Gee—good thing no “convicted felons” living in inner-city ghettoes or barrios have any guns—otherwise the cops and gov’t might have to go after them.......
/s”
In South Dade County, FL a shoot house for criminals was discovered.
Wait!! They’re just terrorists, hep em out Baarney.
“I wonder if posting a picture of the Ayatollah at the range would have made the Feds go away. (Cuz that would mean they’re a legit charity and not a militia!)”
Do you mean a recruiting poster, a “beg poster” soliciting ‘contributions’ for the IslamoWhackos, or is the Ayatollah gracing a target?
Just wondering.
“Owner Jim Faire says he can’t afford to run a background check on every visitor...”
They expect range owners to run background checks on visitors now? It’s been a couple years but all I ever had to do was show my driver’s license.
Project Appleseed Ping
But Faire claims the word “militia” is just a part of an inside joke. He says his group is a local chapter of Project Appleseed, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching marksmanship and preserving gun rights.
Yeah, thats a hoot...A real funny one...
They unknowingly (not surprising) just increased the participation in Appleseed as well...
Keep up the good work!!!
(See, that was a joke)
Excellent point!!!
Perhaps one of these organizations can help Mr. Faire secure his property rights or direct you to another group that can:

Good luck and thanks for the first hand account.
I mean a few posters of the Ayatollah’s smiling (I’m sure that deep, deep down he was smiling) face watching the shooters on the line. They could also leave a few copies of the Koran laying around, put some prayer rugs out, paint a big arrow in the parking lot pointing toward Mecca... Just enough to convince the agents that these are peaceful Friends-o’-Obama and not eeeeeeviiiiil American militia types.
Thank you, “penelopesire”. I don’t know if Mr. Faire reads this forum...I suspect not as he’s pretty busy trying to defend himself from assault by dirty, county and federal politicians these days. But I have forwarded your list by private eMail to him.
And the down side is . . . . ?
None whatsoever.
Owner Jim Faire says he can’t afford to run a background check on every visitor because his outdoor gun range is a nonprofit business.
Is that requirement of checking every vistor to a gun range?...
Let’s hope they’re looking at least as carefully at the many Islamic paramilitary ‘jihadist’ training camps in the US. Doubtful, but we can hope.
