Long Islanders that moved to NW NJ in the late 90's succeeded in shutting down a range my Father brought my family to just about every saturday when I was a kid. It was where my Dad first taught me how to shoot an M1 Carbine and Colt Python at age 6. It was founded in 1946 by returning WW2 vets. At first, the initial complaints resulted in changing of shooting times, but it wasn't good enough for them. The most unfortunate aspect was that the club leased the land and did not own it. The transplants were able to work with anti-gun elements in local government to pressure the property owner to not renew the lease. That ended the range and the club.

Actions like these need to be fought tooth and nail.

Where was this range? I'm from NW NJ, and I don't recall it, so it's probably a ways from me, but I'm just curious.
