Scholastic Clay Target team asks for help

[Guest trev054]

Senate Bill 309 has been slowed in passing due to the efforts of Bo Watson and Richard Floyd. This bill is an ammendment to the Gun Range Owners Protection Act and would allow a gun range that operated for over 39 years at its present location to reopen after being shut down by a local politician.

I coach a scholastic clays target team in Soddy Daisy, TN and our home course and practice facility is Montlake Classic Clays. The whole fiasco began because the current owners and neighbors had a clash of personalities and a couple of neighbors got together and sued to shut the range down because of noise. This is the equivalent of me moving next to the airport and then asking them to move the planes because they are too loud. Because of the good ol' boy network here, the neighbors pulled a county commissioner into the mix who effectively shut the range down.

There are alot more details that I could add and if you want to know more please contact me. But I would like to ask your help in emailing and calling the offices of Bo Watson and Richard Floyd and encouraging them to get this range back open.

thanks,

Trevor Fuller

This is yet another attempt by "our" government to take away our rights as an American. My son, 6th grader, also shoots on a scholastic shooting team. The Patriot Shooters in Jefferson county. We shoot and train at Hog Heaven here in White Pine. It appears like this is becoming a "politically correct" thing for wanna be politicians to do. By this I mean, listen to a couple of disgruntled landowners and go bazerk! If this nonsense keeps up, we will only be allowed to dry fire at targets, and then be handed a ticket or fine for allowing the sun to shine on a weapon. If that happens, I'm sure the good folks of the USA could find a few politicians with a good spot to stick a weapon where the sun does not shine! JMO
