My club in Indiana is grandfathered by state law, but liabilities have forced us to install so many barrels that you can hardly see daylight.
I wonder when the Washington staters are going to realize that their Second Amendment rights are under attack by the bedwetting ‘RAT girlymen.
The Americans living in Washington state need to make their voices heard at the bullet box.
And I’m not sure how you’d baffle skeet or trap ranges, although its practically impossible for that type of shot to leave even the smallest of ranges.
they exempted these places to go after the range, specifically.
The anti-gunners claim that the noise is too loud at the KRRC. You would think that the same applies to skeet and trap ranges. But the truth about skeet and trap ranges is that many times their members are rich people with political connections and they get exempted from noise ordinances.
As a back up plan, the range should look into papercrete blocks as a backstop, baffles and side walls. They are inexpensive, can be formed into just about any shape, have excellent bullet retention properties and are light weight, making them suitable for over head.

Makes me wonder who has their eyes on the land and what their relationship to the moron is. Maybe there is some rich homebuilder slobbering at the thought.
“Hauge, who has been in office since 1995, has apparently been using his influence to convince other government agencies to help him harass KRRC”
You got this rat right in this sentence. I’d bet with 99% certainty that he’s been meeting with local elected officials outside of public meetings to craft legislation, which is a violation of nearly every state’s open meetings law. Rats are dirty and engage in this kind of illegal conduct in nearly every local government.
Lobby the county sheriff to start an investigation. Organize a team and go after this snake. Penalties for violating a state’s open meetings law include heavy fines, the forced repeal of any laws or ordinances and jail time. He should also be investigated for taking bribes from anti-gun groups and making illegal payments to local government bureaucrats and elected officials.
Conservatives need to start using state and local laws and get involved in local government.
We dealt with many corrupt rats when I was in local government. This guy looks dirty. Send him to state prison.
Washington state “They wanna take away r guns!” ping.
email recd. this a.m. Title: “Is this what you want?” author unknown:
You’re sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door.
Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers.
At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way.
With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun.
You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.
In the darkness, you make out two shadows.
One holds something that looks like a crowbar.
When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire.
The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.
One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.
As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you’re in trouble.
In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless..
Yours was never registered.
Police arrive and inform you that the second burglar has died.
They arrest you for First Degree Murder and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.
When you talk to your attorney, he tells you not to worry: authorities will probably plea the case down to manslaughter.
“What kind of sentence will I get?” you ask.
“Only ten-to-twelve years,” he replies, as if that’s nothing.
“Behave yourself, and you’ll be out in seven.”
The next day, the shooting is the lead story in the local newspaper. Somehow, you’re portrayed as an eccentric vigilante while the two men you shot are represented as choirboys.
Their friends and relatives can’t find an unkind word to say about them..
Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both “victims” have been arrested numerous times.
But the next day’s headline says it all:
“Lovable Rogue Son Didn’t Deserve to Die.”
The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters..
As the days wear on, the story takes wings.
The national media picks it up, then the international media.
The surviving burglar has become a folk hero.
Your attorney says the thief is preparing to sue you, and he’ll probably win.
The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you’ve been critical of local police for their lack of effort in apprehending the suspects.
After the last break-in, you told your neighbor that you would be prepared next time.
The District Attorney uses this to allege that you were lying in wait for the burglars.
A few months later, you go to trial.
The charges haven’t been reduced, as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.
When you take the stand, your anger at the injustice of it all works against you..
Prosecutors paint a picture of you as a mean, vengeful man.
It doesn’t take long for the jury to convict you of all charges.
The judge sentences you to life in prison.
This case really happened.
On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk , England , killed one burglar and wounded a second.
In April, 2000, he was convicted and is now serving a life term...
How did it become a crime to defend one’s own life in the once great British Empire ?
It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.
This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license.
The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns..
Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.
Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerfordmass shooting in 1987.
Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.
When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.
The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of “gun control”, demanded even tougher restrictions.
(The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)
Nine years later, at Dunblane , Scotland , Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.
For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable, or worse, criminals.
Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners.
Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns.
The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearms still owned by private citizens.
During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism.
Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun.
Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.
Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying,
“We cannot have people take the law into their own hands.”
All of Martin’s neighbors had been robbed numerous times,
and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences.
Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars.
When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns were given three months to turn them over to local authorities.
Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law.
The few who didn’t were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn’t comply.
Police later bragged that they’d taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.
How did the authorities know who had handguns?
The guns had been registered and licensed.
Kind of like cars. Sound familiar?
WAKE UP AMERICA ; THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
“...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds..”
—Samuel Adams
If you think this is important, please forward to everyone you know.
You had better wake up, because Obama is doing this very same thing, over here, if he can get it done
The UN Small Arms Treaty that Hilary is negotiating would take away our 2nd Amendment rights.
And there are stupid people in congress and on the street that will go right along with him.
Just remember - the reason the Japanese didn’t invade the USA is because they knew that Most
of the citizens were armed.
Another gun grabbing Marxist who is in office. Typical.
You're safe.
Gotta think out of the box!
bkmrk
Kill both of them then you can say that you took the shotgun away from them and used it when they swung the crowbar at you.
How does that compare to the US?
