Return to “Potential city owned Gun range in Alvin Texas?”
Now that could certainly happen.ELB wrote:I think what he is saying is that a municipally owned range would undercut the financial viability of a private range, not that they would try to directly regulate private ranges. And he has a point in this, especially if Alvin is small community.Charles L. Cotton wrote:..
Thanks to SB766 that passed last session, cities cannot regulate shooting ranges, so they can't stop a private range.

Thanks to SB766 that passed last session, cities cannot regulate shooting ranges, so they can't stop a private range.Wodathunkit wrote:I saw in the Alvin city hall agenda to "consider approval of a proposal with C. Vargas & Associates, LTD for $28,500 to complete a conceptual master plan for a potential municipal shooting range". This seems like the start of a slow/expensive process. Has anyone heard of this item before?
While I like the idea of having a gun range close to me (I'm an Alvinite), I'm not sure I want it city owned. It seems to me that privately owned ranges would have a hard time opening in Alvin if they so desired due to the city not wanting any competition.....or do I just need to take off my tin foil hat?
