You talk about the need for berms, but then say concerns about his opening of a range without basic safety features isn’t about safety.
Try reading and comprehending your own post.
The law suit began early in the range’s history, before the owner had the berms up. The injunction froze progress and now nothing is happening until a hearing and argument is done. The lawsuit is to try to keep the range shut down. If the court follows the idea of a range protection law, the owner should be allowed to put in the sort of berms and side stops to ensure shoots go down and in the backstop, thus over coming any safety issue. With safety off the table, simple sound and nuisance complaints are trumped by the range law Texas and other states have.
