I didn't say the Buda range specifically. I stated that not every instance of a range opening up is something a neighbor would welcome. I then listed my hypotheticals and refined that down to a range opening up near a residential neighborhood.

I don't know the details about the Buda range, but it doesn't matter to my argument either. I'll further restate that I wish them well.

That depends on the circumstances though doesn't it. I wouldn't want a public gun range opening right next to me and would fight it too. The noise, especially if they're talking rifles, would be intolerable. If I move next to one, thats on me. But if one comes in next to me thats on them.

Not really. Cities cannot regulate "sport shooting ranges," other than setting business hours. Even then, the hours must be the most liberal enjoyed by any business within the city limits, exclusive of establishments with a license to sell or serve alcohol on premises. So if there is one all-night pharmacy or gas station, then the range gets to operate 24 hours a day. Counties cannot even regulate business hours. So you can fight all you want, but you'll lose.

They seem to be winning in Buda.
EDIT: If it were an indoor range I wouldn't care one way or the other, or f its in an area away from residences, or if the residences build up aroudn it. But the carte blanche view that you would never have a problem is naive.

If a new outdoor range opens up right next to a residential neighborhood and permeates the neighborhood with the joyful noise of gunfire (starting to remind me of pleasant evenings in Pomona, Ca. ah the sweet sound of gunfire, sirens, and thundering helicopters) then you may change your mind. You have the right to enjoy your property. You do not have the right to harm me or the enjoyment of my property.

Come back with your judgement or upon it!

The website says the range is closed until a court hearing on the 23rd due to a temporary restraining order. Yikes.

Well that didn't last long.
