I just got back from the range. Me and Gator38 spent five hours sending lead downrange thru our AR's and 1911's. The club I belong to is Fairfield Sportsman's Assn. in Southwest Ohio. I've belonged since 1984. The club has been in existence for 30+ years. Every year, we open our ranges for the Police Olympics, the Boy Scouts, and the Marine recuits. Some of our members have been on the Olympic trap and skeet teams.
The big talk at the range today, was that property very close to our club was sold to the county to build soccer fields! This property is apparently in line with most of our ranges(high power, pistol, shotgun,etc.). We may have to close our facilities! FSA is an all NRA club. We have around 3000 members. We are open seven days a week, 365 days a year. We have a great relationship with the community, and local law enforcement. SWAT qualifies on our 300 yard range. We may have to close because of SOCCER!!
I bet our argument, that we were here first, would never hold up in court. We may be f**ked. What do you think? [sex]
