The 2011 Texas law on ranges was probably what we call a gun range protection law. We have it up here in WI as well. It just says a legal and established range can’t be shut down just because neighbors (often later buyers of near by lots) can’t get the range shut down due to noise or just because the neighbors don’t like shooting. The law does not affect stray bullet claims or unsafe acts on or from the range.

This Texas range is on hold due to the lawsuit and can’t even put in safety improvements such as berms now. Berms would erase the neighbor’s fears if well placed as 1000 yard shooting is done from a fixed point and all bullets go straight to the target and backstop. Berms or walls at the start would funnel the lane down to the target and side berms at the back stop would keep ricochets from getting out. The law suit is not about safety, but anti guns.

The injunction is ridiculous.
Morgan should be allowed to put in the berms and proceed.
He should have built the berms before this case came forward.

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.
