That and liability.

I beg to differ. On good weather day, hundreds of shooters are lined up on range that I used to visit, Garlands Public Range The word "Public" is goofy, it is privately owned and managed business. The rumor is the Bullet Trap of Plano, is opening a new range in Mickenny. At $20 per entry that is quite good money.

Isn't true that one can't sue the government for more than $200,000 or $250,000? This is not big deal. $1,000,000 insurance liability is not that big deal for medium size operation.

Shooting ranges is big business and very very profitable. Cities operate swimming pools, libraries, basket ball, tennis and track fields, parks, why not shooting ranges?

City residents can have discounts and yearly membership at affordable rates. Guest are all welcomed. Big events IDPA IPSC, and Cowboy matches and tactical matches are also an option. What a better option for CHLer instructors to have a place to teach and train?

I wished I was on city board to raise this project.
