Unfortunately, that's only an acknowledgement of an existing condition; it doesn't prevent their trying to change conditions if they find them not to their taste in the future.
One thing that worries me is that the people building out here now really don't understand that they're moving out into Real Country. For example, this past fall we were the subject of a long series of angry noise complaints from people who didn't know that both goose and mourning-dove seasons opened September 4, and that the early-morning shooting they were hearing was from hunters in the Bayport WMA, and not the gun club.

Yes, and the more people who move out there, the less it'll be that way. Folks move out of the suburbs so they can have a couple acres of lawn to mow, or even more. But then they want all the services they had in the suburbs, not realizing that getting them will essentially destroy the semi-rural area they moved to.
Sad business, and it's going to get worse. Since I just moved to MN, that was my first drive out on 10th. I live over in NE St. Paul, but do a lot of my shopping on Century and in Woodbury, since I'm right off McKnight. It's a pretty area over by your gun club, but I suspect that the $400K and up crowd are going to be heading over there en masse, especially when the I-94 &I-694 work is done. Pretty easy commute.
OTOH, I suppose the property the gun club is on will be worth a lot more then. Maybe you'll eventually have to relocate further out.
