i think if the bubble wrap people have such a problem, maybe they should use there millions to purchese their local police a shiney new indoor range. that way they do a public service and quiet things down a bit.
see, there is always a great solution. *grin*

"While I agree with his statement, I can't imagine that Chief Ingrasselino is all that pro gun, or that he'd stand up for a private or otherwise "civilian" shooting range under those same circumstances (I don't know the man personally, but I doubt one rises to the level of Police Chief anywhere in New Jersey without being a committed police stater)."
He is just looking out for 'the budget' and if it was your range--What is his position on CCW??
PS--I see this is NEW JERSEY--enough said. "No guns for you-only me and friends"-- Ill bet.

I'd love to see some people build homes nearby and complain about the semitrucks that are in and out of the factory all day...
I'd also like to point out that NJ is the home of freeway "walls."
Vast stretches of the NJTP, GSP, I-95, I-295, I-80, I-280, I-287, etc etc are lined with walls to keep the noise away from residents. Noise is scary!!!!
IIRC, NJ is the most densely populated (haha, no pun intended) state in the Union. Perhaps if residents were so concerned about noise they would choose not to move right up their neighbors' butts.
(LOL, and I have to drive 20 miles for a Walmart and 70 miles for an Outback. We don't have much here in Nebraska except for land. Lots and lots of land.)

It would only take a few nearby folks to express their support for the range to quickly end the debate.
Our small housing development of 71 homes is just a few hundred feet away from a police indoor range. The range and the development have co-existed side by side and happily for over 20 years.
A new resident moved in and took exception to the noise.
He complained bitterly and even went as far as to take his complaint before the Police Chief, the City Commisioners and the local press.
As a long term resident of this same community, and one who supports the existence of this range, I followed in his footsteps and expressed a supportive position to those same groups. They used that support to quickly counter his complaint and close the issue.
The complainer moved shortly thereafter and there IS joy in Mudville again.

Fool, you don't know who you are up against! While the average yuppie is prime example of an invertebrate, they won't hesitate to use assault lawyers against you! Assault lawyers IN BLACK SUITS! We all know that a black rifle is more dangeroues in some undefined way, so assault lawyers in black suits ought to be more dangerous than your standard lawyer...strat81 said:

Anyone complaining about the noise from a shooting range simply has to pay for the tax stamps and suppressors for everyone shooting there. Then everyone involved is happy.

Same sort of thing went on with the Ben Avery Shooting Facility awhile back.

Well, the Ted Turners of the world can remedy that problem in a hurry.
Someone should take the Bubble Wrap people for a drive down to Pax River or NAS Oceana so they can listen to what F-18s sound like when they take off. I was stationed at Oceana back when they still had lots of F-14s there and those suckers are LOUD! Ironically I never remember anybody complaining about noise.

Does this mean that when I pop bubblewrap now, it will smell like gun smoke? SWEEEEEEEEEEET!
That reminds me: A year or to ago I was reading a mountain biking mag and they had an article about some sort of artificial trail park in Florida. The article said it was a sweet place, you just had to learn to ignore "Machinegun Thursdays" at the range next door.
Machinegun Saturdays!

This, among other things, is a big problem in NJ.

Now, I'm not encouraging a political debate here, I do just want to put the facts out. Mods, if I'm out of line, please PM me and I'll edit this part out.
For the guys commenting on the Police chief's stance on GC. I don't know him, I've never lived in Elmwood Park, but I know the 38th District in NJ is blue. And it is likely that the PC's stance falls in line with a traditional blue stance.
There is a serious attitude of guns and CCW for all...
...of the police, military.
The fact of the matter is the bloated property taxes win every fight here. Until we have some serious reform here these problems will only get worse.

Now, if he could maintain that attitude for the civilian ranges, I'd be really impressed. In my state, our civilian owned ranges have for the most part, fallen to crap such as this and it sickens me no end. New indoor ranges have opened, but the outdoor ranges in this area are a thing of the past.

I suspect he doesn't support guns for the military...unless they're on duty.
Most such cops are fairly derogatory toward the military.
I've had one stand in front of me, 1000 yard stare, shouting, "You don't know what it's like out there, every day with someone trying to kill you!"
I showed him my military ID and said, "Do you realize why saying that to me makes you an utter moron?"
He replied, "Oh, well, @#$% you military guys! You know who the enemy is! And most of you will never see one! COPS FACE THIS EVERY DAY!"
Now, I won't judge this chief without hearing him, but many others in that area are all in favor of guns for cops, on or off duty, but screw the troops.

We have a development in town here next to a fairly nice range. However, potential residents have to drive a mile down Rod and Gun Club Road before they get to the first house. Sorta hard for Realtors to keep it a secret. My wife didn't mind the range when we were looking for a house but she said she didn't move to Montana to be under an airport glide path.
