    Just kidding on the gay thing if the didn't convey that.

    Anyhow, in all honesty, any noise you tune out over time. When I lived in Brighton, I was a mere three blocks from 2 railroad crossings (and less than 1/2 mile form 2 more). There were at least 10 times a day when then the trains would blow their horns 4x for each crossing and after 2 months, I seriously never heard them unless I stopped and concentrated on them.

    I could also constantly heard gunfire from the ACSD range and down here, I can hear gun fire from the Buckley qual range here. I just smile when I hear it, of course.. I'm not gay.

    Those people should pack up and move to south side Chicago.

    I agrre with everything said here 100%, but a range was built about 1/2 from my parents property in MO (no zoning requirements/approval was required) an found that the shooting @ 0700 tended to wake me up on the weekends when I wanted to sleep in, but you really do start to tune it out after a bit.

    In the case of this Vegas area range, it's true that it was either approved before the home owners bought the property and they could have chosen not to make the purchase or it was approved after they owned the property and they could have voiced their dissent. Either way, it was a failure on their part to take action and now they just want to bitch about it - tough!

    I wish we had more ranges here in CO to shoot at and would love to have one just 1/2 mile from my home. Talk about conveinent!

    They should make suppressors free and mandatory. I mean some get offended when your car, truck or motorcycle doesn't have a muffler on it. I think it sucks to have to shoot guns without them.

    But this guy is cool with me. I can't believe he said all of that too. I personally wouldn't mind a shooting range close by my house. I hear all the sounds of nature (e.g. firetrucks at 3am, booming systems and gun shots going god know where) I wouldn't miss a beat living next to a gun range.

    Good point, at least with a gun range, you would know where the shots are coming from.
    Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.
