Yeah SCA can you give us a little idea of the problems.
BTW - why don't the cops use the CA sportman's club. I think that's what the CG uses. |

The cops don't use the sportsman club because they don't get 8 hours OT to open the gate and statd there while others fire their weapons

Please keep on protesting same, t. Some of the lead doesn't hit the dam face, and clean-ups of same, leave a lot of it behind. There are firing ranges
around, but?????????

How long has this been going on? Does the state have any jurisdiction? |

Since 1992, but extreme overuse in the past five years. Sergeant Leanos gets double pay I'm told, for working for the G.P.D. and the State as an
instructor. The whole M.A. area Coast Guard practices there as well. There is a small berm below the dam that is shot into, but many shots hit the dam itself.
Along side and directly behind the Res., is 128. It would have to be a really bad shot, but if someone shot at an angle into the air it could hit 128 (this is
the opinion of an officer that shoots there). Remember bullets travel a long distance and Lt. Aiello stated on tape that it can take some guys 500 shote to hit
the target 50 times to qualify. What happens to the other 450 shots?

There is also a range in Rockport that could be used instead, that is called Piggery Crossing, which is accessed off of the Rockport end of Nugents stretch.

SCA is it true that Aiello and Leanos had been very rude and intimidating to the tax payers at that meeting? |

Too bad the price of lead is dropping or I'd be out there scooping it up.

Cops only need one bullet. Stop wasting my tax dollars.

500 shots to hit the target 50 times to qualify? OMG are you kidding me? that range is maybe 50 yards long at the most and if you can't hit something, then
you shouldn't have a weapon in the first place. Oh yea, that's right ... when you are making double time you need to drag the process out to earn the
maximum.

There is a target range at the "bill of Goods built" Police station. If I'm not mistaken lack of adequate ventilation in that environmental
nightmare facility (a city wide building plague) has it condemned.
