A legal, safely run shooting range, which has been a part of CT history for more than 60 years, is threatened with closing forever because of unproven allegations about "stray bullets".
The Blue Trail Range shooting complex is used by a wide array of law abiding gun owners. Everyone form parents demonstrating proper sporting arms safety to their children, to organized shooting clubs, to state and local law enforcement agencies conducting training, to individual active duty, reserve and National Guard military personnel preparing themselves to deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan, to YOU (the lawful firearms enthusiast) has a stake in keeping all of it's firing lines open and useable.
Dave Lyman and his staff are working hard to keep the ENTIRE range complex operating. There are rapidly mounting litigation and engineering bills to pay (by some
estimates between $250,000 to $l,OOO,OOO!).lfthey lose the battle, every sporting arms enthusiast in Connecticut loses ... once a range is gone, it never comes back.
