The Health Risks of Shooting Ranges

I thought someone had done a story on Eaker.

help keep these bad neighbors from moving in next door

Bad neighbors? Jeez. And when has any gun range been built in a reidential neighborhood?

And when has any gun range been built in a reidential neighborhood?

Actually, one was built just last year in Rockville, MD (sniper ground zero...). Although it's in an industrial "zone" it boarders a lot of housing.

And when has any gun range been built in a reidential neighborhood?

There have been several instances in Northern CA of housing being built right next to an eisting range. I personally know of at least two ranges near me which had to close because people who had moved into newly-built homes near the ranges formed committees and complained.

They knew the ranges were there and moved in anyway. But, it did increase the value of their homes dramatically.

Spineless politicians just weren't willing to accept that the ranges were there first and had a right to operate.

"the "Rambo factor" (shooters intent on destroying targets and other objects by blasting away at high speed with powerful guns..."

I thought that was the "Eaker factor" (shooters who blast away at a target with a Glock in one hand and a Sig in the other)!

The only way to get lead poisoning at a firing range is to walk out in front of the firing line before a cease fire is called.

Whatever method the NRA is using to attract shooters, it's working.
At least in the South, there are more sport shooters today than ever before, and it's growing.
Now you have to ask yourself.........WHY?
Simple answer: It's fun!

Shooting ranges are popping up everywhere, but so are golf courses.
There are far less people who go to a firing range with the plan in mind to kill someone as there are Saturday golfers who plan to turn pro next month.

Both (Unless I'm wrong, there's only 2) indoor shooting ranges in the Denver area are in residential areas; Firing Line, and another right on 38th Ave(I can't think of their name). Personally, I don't go to these ranges because of their "One bullet per second" rule. I like going to National Forests to practice instead. Thanks to the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners for info on where it's still legal to shoot.

"help keep these bad neighbors from moving in next door"

I bet if it was a gay bathhouse or drug rehab center the ACLU would be all over anyone who complained...

Given a choice between the college kids who live next door to me(and hold their garage rock band practice next door to me,as a bonus),and having a shooting range on the adjacent property-

Can anyone guess which one I'd pick?
