TORRANCE COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NEAR THE FOUNDERS RANCH SHOOTING RANGE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH PLANS TO EXPAND THE RANGE. IN ADDITION TO CONCERNS ABOUT NOISE POLLUTION, THEY'RE WORRIED THAT THEIR HOMES ... AND THEIR CHILDREN ... COULD BE HIT BY BULLETS FIRED FROM WEAPONS AT THE RANGE. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE NEARBY ROUTE 66 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

 

GERRY BAKER WITH THE SINGLE ACTION SHOOTING SOCIETY TELLS EYEWITNESS NEWS 4 NO ONE WOULD SHOOT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SCHOOL. HE ALSO SAYS THE RANGE HAS TRAINED OFFICERS TO SUPERVISE SHOOTERS.

 

TORRANCE COUNTY IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ISSUE NEXT WEDNESDAY.
