Jim, you remember the range they were proposing to develop in Homestead a few years back? Last I heard it was never developed because the shooting would create a niusance because of the noise. Never mind that the range's neighbor was the Homestead-Miami Speedway where NASCAR and othe races are held.

All those noise excuses are nothing but

I'm curious why a "misfire" is such a concern. C'mon ... CLICK! and that's it. I hate these people who can't even get the facts straight. A local news reporter just the other day said a school kid was caught with "a 22 caliber Derringer that holds 5 shots." Where the Hell did the kid get a Pepperbox? I want one of those myself!

Bear in mind that the Associated Press is an ultra-liberal news organization and their reporters are extremely gun knowledge challenged. Obviously, this reporter doesn't know the difference between a misfire and a stray shot.

Besides, I'd be willing to bet that this range is constructed so as to minimize, if not eliminate, the possibility of a stray shot landing in a populated area.

The range won. Further, a new law was just passed preventing such ranges around the state from being condemned for similar reasons.

I always did like Virginia

This sorta goes with what Chris said, about the hogs...

Here in the fastest growing city in the U.S., Las Vegas, there is a hog farm that was 30 miles north of downtown. Now it is surrounded by home development, and its neighbors are all complaining about the smell!! DUHHH. There are lawsuits galore, but the farmer wont budge. Good for him. He does run a "clean" operation, that being used with concrete floors, and all sorts of cleanup devices, but still, "hogs will be hogs". I blame the city/county dads for all of this, but in the end, I am sure he'll have to stop the operation of the farm, and bail out. The farm has been in operation for over 40 years.

This is why, come this Sunday, the ole U-Haul truck will be heading north into the wilds of Washington State, hopefully in my lifetime, what is left of it, I wont be surrouded by "smelly neighbors".

The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission voted today to close the range, but not until an alternate location is found. The range will continue to operate in the interim.
