Oh, I don't know. Minnesota is full of people who hunt, fish, and do other outdoor sports. There are gun ranges all over the place, often right near new subdivisions.
The huge numbers of sportsmen here means that local legislators have to be cautious about such issues, and they are.
I think the idea of notification of a nearby existing shooting range should be part of the disclosure process in real estate transactions. Most everything else is in Minnesota.
We just bought a house here, and the disclosure documents were amazing. The homeowner has to have the home inspected by the local authorities and has to show you that inspection report. In addition, there's a long form the homeowner has to fill out.
We went ahead and hired our own home inspector, but he found nothing that wasn't on the other disclosure documents.
I like disclosure on real estate transactions.
But don't be surprised if Minnesota lawmakers are sensitive to issues like this one. They may be liberals, but they're not idiots.
You're living in the parallel Minnesota, where rational thought prevails - send us a postcard now and then!
