Exactly and people need to understand we ( several homes out here ) asked him to turn it parallel away from the homes and we would not have had an issue with it and when you pull up our county maps, had he turned it sideways there are several acres of no homes at all, would have been the safest best and choice.

This was never about not wanting him to be able to have a range, there are several private ranges out here by us and no one is suing those guys, none of us complain about those guys, this is about he is aimed in the direction of all the homes and he is shooting fully automatic and 50 BMG without suppressors and he has no above ground back stop at all. He has a hole in the ground he dug out and that is it. He also told the news crew no one would be shooting on this at all till he had another 45 ft above ground back stop and he has been out there shooting and letting his friend shoot on it as well ( again we have no problem with people sharing their ranges either) but this particular friend boast about how he had his son ( under age of 6 ) sitting on his lap while shooting the 50 BMG , now how many things could have gone wrong with that picture?
