SULTAN, Wash. (AP) - A Sultan nudist club is suing to stop a public shooting range from being built near the park it runs for nude outdoor enthusiasts.

Lake Bronson Club sued the state Board of Natural Resources and Snohomish County last week, saying the state can't transfer 150 acres of forestland to the county for a gun range. The lawsuit alleges state law requires the land be used for a public park.

Club secretary Jodi Halfhill says it's not a good idea to have a shooting range a mile from a social camping club. The club has about 320 wooded acres in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with a spring-fed lake and miles of hiking trails.

County chief civil deputy prosecutor Jason Cummings tells the Daily Herald that county officials feel confident defending its position

These nudist camps are all about bringing the kids, its for the pervs.

Keep us abreast of the situation.

Hey, combine the two.

These nudist camps are all about bringing the kids, its for the pervs.

Ditto. I can't see any other reason for bringing the kids. There's nothing wholesome about it.

Well, they may encounter a few shooters looking for lost brass, don’t you know. Stuff flies everywhere..........

So make it a public range. Problem solved.

TTIBOWP.

You’ve never been near nudist have you?

Not a pretty sight.

[Army Air Corps]

Most people who are nudists, shouldn’t be. I recall many years ago a TV news magazine (20/20 or Dateline) interviewed some folks at a nudist camp. Even with digital blobs strategically covering things, it was not a pretty sight.

There is "good naked" and there is "bad naked"

[mylife]

It’s definatley “bad naked”

[equaviator]

I like my body...Doesn’t everyone else like their own?

[rickomatic]

The proposed range IS public and will be run by the Snohomish County Parks Dept. The nudies don’t have a leg to stand on.
On a side note, my son and I hunted bear up there this year. How ironic is that. LOL.

1. They’re jealous ‘cause they can’t have concealed weapons.
2. They misread: It’s PUBLIC shooting range, not PUBIC shooting range.....

Aw, c’mon. Who doesn’t love a beaver shoot ?
