As part of the exercise of Second Amendment rights, there is the right to have a place to practice and enhance your skills.
The government cannot just shut down ranges at a whim.

government must “persuade us that ‘the recited harms are real, not merely conjectural This would apply to vax mandates as well. How much of an "emergency" is something that has a >99% survival rate and current US mortality is half what it was from the maximum?

The government cannot just shut down ranges at a whim. Sure they can.
Some pissant township hacks, closed this range down {or curtailed it's operations} for 4 years and while he has won in a specific court, do you think the hacks will stop.
If this group is done, there will be more coming from a different bunch of gummint stiffs.
It's what they do; "They are, who we thought they were" coach Dennis Greene.

Uh ok... if “conjecture” is now unconstitutional and illegal how in the world are politicians going to function?
90% of the crap they spew is speculation...

Yet we still need a judge’s permission to exercise basic rights.

In the town where I grew up...a comfortable (and currently *very* "progressive") suburb of an East Coast city...one can,today,buy marijuana despite the fact that it's a Federal offense to possess even minute quantities of it. OTOH,there was recently a man who wanted to open a gun shop in the town. People went crazy! "No Gun Shops In Anytown"! was seen on many front lawns.
He was denied a permit to open the shop...despite the fact that the right to keep and bear arms is *specifically* guaranteed in the Constitution.

A well “regulated” militia ... it would be pretty unregular if people are unable to correctly use their weapons.

“ The government must “persuade us that ‘the recited harms are real, not merely conjectural, and that the regulation will in fact alleviate these harms in a direct and material way.’”
My little town in northern Virginia recently passed a law banning guns from town offices for just such nebulous and imagined safety reasons. Other places in NOVA with similar ordinances are being sued, but don’t care because the residents are the ones footing the legal bills.
I hate social justice Dims.

Yup. The range has not yet won the case after 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees: it has just been remanded to a lower court to be reconsidered.
I'm sure the lower court will get right on it.
What cases like this show is that the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are incompatible with the administrative state. Any government official at any level can, at any time, interfere with your 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th Amendment rights and it will take years and a small fortune to get redress. And even if you win in the end, there will almost never be any penalty for the officials involved.
Even with the (remote) possibility that you'll win in court, you need a small fortune to pursue the case. This effectively turns most of the US into an oligarchy, since only the rich can afford access and ordinary people have no effective recourse to the legal system. In addition, the upper classes can purchase exemptions through lobbying or bribery.
The only permanent solution is a restoration of freedom and the abolition of the myriad of picayune regulatory powers or the creation of special courts to expedite and reduce the cost of such adjudication.

When we considered moving east I was looking at a job in Sayre, PA. Reading their benefits website I noticed that the first day of deer hunting season was a holiday — maybe even a state holiday but am not sure about that. In any case, probably not smart to mess with Second Amendment there.

Cool. Nothing like having a place to get in some range time, target practice is a good thing...lets you do things like this
.22 Marlin 925 sighting in the scope, 1st shot at far right.
Hmmm...that reminds me I just got a spare magazine for the Bersa .380, need to run a few rounds through it and make sure everything works right...

The fight is far from over, but we are winning victories. One would hope, it's written quite clearly in the constitution. Now I am fingers crossed hoping the SCOTUS offers up more good news on this front.

I'm sure the lower court will get right on it. The lower court immediately issued an injunction against the Town Zoning Board.
They did not wait long.

That’s unusually fast, at least from what I’ve read. Especially if the lower court disagrees. But I’m glad they acted. Still, how long did it take?

The appeal was decided on August 17, 2021. The injunction was put in place by the District Court on October 13, 2021.
The process took a bit less than two months.
