I worked with the woman who was hit - they were sitting in a both and the round came through the wall and hit her in the torso leaving a welt. She picked it up and asked what it was and one of her table mates properly id’d the slug. Then he stated “You’ve just been shot.” At first the manager of the place wouldn’t believe them. It was a really weird situation.

Still if they were there first and have resolved the safety issue they have the right to stay.

I live within a few miles of a shooting range (which I used to belong to.) There are a lot of guns here in Wisconsin, and there are a lot of shooting ranges. Although there are a lot of houses much closer than my house to the range, no one around here is organzing a petition to get rid of it.

“You don't get to move next to a new neighbor and then force the neighbor to move and I think that what this is about. It's that simple.”

It's not a question of "forcing the neighbor to move", but "preventing the neighbor from shooting through the walls". And yes, you do have the right to oppose that, the Second Amendment notwithstanding.

I live in a rural area, and own several firearms. But unfortunately, there are neighbors on one side and cattle on the other. So I don't get to shoot anything but a .22 unless I'm pointing straight down at the ground.

Part of being a responsible gun owner is being a good neighbor.
