New Public Range in Danger of Close?

[Lady Sharpshooter]

I just got a flier that a new range is being built near Ransom but anti gunners want to shut it down.

Anyone know anything?

I got this E-Mail from the NRA today:

Help Expand Recreational Shooting Opportunities in the Scranton-Area!

On Monday, April 5, at 7:00 p.m., the Ransom Township Board will allow the public to submit inquiries to a consortium which is seeking to expand a recreational shooting range in Ransom, just west of Scranton.

Ranges like this one offer a safe, controlled environment for local shooters to hone their skills as well as practice and promote safe firearm handling.

Anti-gun forces will surely mount an offensive to block this range from expanding. Please attend this meeting and voice your support for this range.

The meeting will be held at 23 Hickory Drive, Clarks Summit, PA 18411.

Unfortunately, I work 2nd shift on Mondays, so I won't be able to go. I just hope that enough people show up to support this range.

The address is corrected on today's NRA alert. The meeting will be held at 2435 Hickory Lane , Clarks Summit, PA 18411

I spoke to some people about this last week. From what I could learn, the man with the range is a heavy hitter, not a lightweight like I expected. Writes for gun magazines, industry connected, NRA Training Counselor for every cert they offer, grad of Blackwater and Front Sight. Already owns some hi end place.

Maybe he will hire me!

Hmm... Heck yeah - I'd like a closer range too!

I will try to attend the meeting as well.
