Ranges are often attacked on nuisance grounds, and some laws have been adapted to protect them.
Michael Jean Associate counsel at NRA gave a solid presentation o the issues ranges face.
Attacking ranges is a great way to attack the gun culture, if you have no where to shoot your shooting culture won't be lasting very long.
Many states adopted the NRA range sourcebook as a standard but that has problems as the standards are 627 pages long and is advisory and discretionary with no absolute set standards.
Environmental standards is another avenue of attack, and he gave a good overview of them and how they are used against ranges. Clean Water Act and RCRA is often used against ranges via lead entering wetlands. Lots of the statutes are poorly worded and difficult to push through with lots of different application on a circuit to circuit court basis.
EPA has a manual for ranges and record keeping is a necessity.
In short, lots of complex info was delivered in this presentation.
