Re: TX: League City gun range blamed for bullet holes in new homes

When I lived in California there was a shooting range owned by the county.
It was a nice place to shoot. Good range and cheap. It was in the Santa Cruz foothills and the hills acted as natural berms.
Over the years they started to build houses near the range. I don't recall any complaints about bullets
hitting houses, but the home owners starting complaining about the noise. Of course the range had
been there for probably 30 years before the houses, but eventually they shut down the range.

Maybe exuberant neighbors who like to celebrate New Years and 4th of July with firearms. I once had apartments near my house and the balconies overlooked a 6 acre open field behind my home. New Years was the most evident occasion that gun fire was happening. I could tell who had revolvers or semi autos some of which were high capacity. The most disconcerting was when I head what I know was an Uzi. :shock:
This NYE I heard a number of gunshots as well as fireworks. :mad5

I would bet that the range will be forced to close. I guess we shall see.
I don't think that will happen honestly, this range has been there for a long long time. I have been shooting at this range for a long long time and it's not necessarily the first time this has happened. They have gone way above and beyond to stop this from happening. If you saw the way the range was set up you would understand why I say it is near impossible for this to have occurred because of stray bullets from the range. There is just no conceivable way a bullet could have left the range gotten past the walls and the berms that have been set up in this place and made it half a mile to these people's homes. It's just not possible in my opinion. the pistol range oh, you can't even see the sky from the shooting stall because of wood that has been placed to prevent this and then there is a 10 or 12 foot berm behind the rack where the targets are and then on the rifle range there is a 10-foot high wall right in front of the shooter stall and another 20 foot high berm right behind each Target. There is just no way
You may be correct. I have never visited that range.
I find it very strange that people are finding bullets at their houses. That is very very strange to me.
