Imagine, a outdoor gunrange in every established residential area back yard with more than 1 acre!
The building in the background in this video is less than 100 feet away is from the firing line for a gunrange in an established residential area The spalding (Georgia) county Board of Commissioners BOC approved a firing range within 50 feet of this swing. There is no fencing or signage to protect this little boy from walking over to get killed, or be shot by ricocheted bullets or unsafe fired guns. They fire high power rifles that can travel 3.3 miles and if a misfire is present it can land anywhere in that radius. Also fire homemade bullets at steel targets increasing the chance for ricocheted or misfired bullets. This family and the Residents around area are being held captive by this supposed to be limited gunrange, but has evolved into a public range. If the gunrange were broken into with all of its guns and mass amounts of ammunition, it could be catostophric.   The gunrange has littered the little boys yard with clay pigeons (containing lead and mercury)from trap shooting (and spent bullets from shotgun shells and guns, highly toxic lead), less than 50 feet from that swing. The owner claims the Spalding County Sheriff Office is in his pocket and there is nothing the neighbors can do. This video is of a recent incident with the owner and a member of the neighborhood group against the range, and the sheriffs office took the gunrangeo owners word on all aspects of the incident.  Several of the neighbors where present when the spalding county police department or sheriffs office defended the owner and the firing range and demeaned and falsely reported incidents that did not occur. (Audio and video of the incident is available) Spalding County BOC has less than 40 days to do what is right and hold gunrange accountable.  But they are the ones that approved this gunrange as a homebased business in a residental zoned area.
