REGARDING THE WHITEFISH RIFLE AND PISTOL CLUB:

It is true that this has been around for a long time, but it is a different world now. It is surrounded by residences and poses many hazards.
1. There have been multiple reports of bullets whizzing over the heads of people walking nearby. This poses a major safety issue.
2. Even though illegal, explosive targets can be heard daily. This poses a definite fire hazard.
3. Rapid fire and high caliber rounds are heard daily. The high noise level in itself is obnoxious and disturbing to the residents surrounding it.
4. Another concern is that it is affecting property values and has caused several homeowners to sell their homes. It is a deterrent to would-be buyers.

The existence of this gunfire compound is an anomaly and should be relocated to a site more harmonious with that which is around it. What was once acceptable is no longer acceptable.
