Firearms rant

The gryphon says...
I posted this on Facebook already so yay double rant.

See now this really pisses me off. I am a responsible firearms owner and treat them with nothing but respect and I hate it when the actions of a few people affect the rest. The Spruce Grove Gun Club is facing closure because residents north of the range have found a couple stray bullets. The only way this could ever happen is if people are shooting high, which you learn while taking your Possession and Acquisition License course is to think about where the bullet will land, if it isn't going to hit your target then you don't take the bloody shot. If you cannot control your firearm and shoot it properly then you should be using a smaller calibre or not shooting at all.
Contrary to what some people believe: firearms are dangerous, even lethal. People need to grow up and think before they pull the trigger.
If the county really does shut down the SGGC imagine how many more bullets people will be finding in their yards when people are forced to shoot outside of the range where there are not proper back-stops set up.

I'm not a firearms user myself and quite honestly I get nervous around them, but I don't have an issue with ranges. Hope everything works out, maybe it'll all just blow over.

I hope so too. I live maybe 5 minutes away from it and I'm on the waiting list for a membership. I'd hate to see it go poof and have me driving at least an hour just to shoot.
