TWIN SISTERS GUN CLUB PETITION
TO SOLANO COUNTY DEPARTMENTS OF PLANNING AND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
WE the undersigned, voice our common concern over issuing a permit to the Twin Sisters Gun Club.
As residents of Solano and Napa Counties, we wish to preserve the quality of our lives and the value of our properties. The expansion of the Twin Sisters Gun Club threatens both. Changing a one-time family camp to commercial weapon ranges with explosive devices, semi-automatic and automatic weapons fire constitutes an unacceptable intrusion into what is otherwise a quiet, peaceful region of Solano County.
Wildfire, noise, traffic, environmental degradation, potential watershed contamination, safety and the disruption of wildlife are all effects of the current and proposed activities at the Twin Sisters Gun Club. We oppose permitting, licensing, zoning or allowing the expansion of a small rural club to include commercial weapon ranges which includes tournaments, obstacle courses, and citizen based tactical squadrons.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the widespread concern regarding the proposed expansion of the Twin Sisters Gun Club. It is clear that the community values the safety and quietude of our region above industrial development.

If the proposed expansion merely increased the nuisance aspect (noise, traffic, etc.) I would not necessarily sign this petition but the increased hazards to humans, animals and the environment that I believe will result from such changes are valid reasons to ask that the Club's petition be denied.
I will do whatever I can to prevent this from happening. We live where we live in order to enjoy the tranquil sounds of nature, not non-stop gunfire echoing across our back yard. I am strongly opposed to any operation, illegal or otherwise, that puts me in greater threat of being a victim of a wildfire.
This gun club is a noise nuisance and has many negative impacts including frightening my horses which may result in personal injury to myself and others.
Twin Sisters Road is a narrow road which winds up a mountain. It was not designed to carry the amount of traffic this expansion would engender and cannot do so safely.
We moved here in 2002 with an understanding of the Gun Club activities which stayed the same until 3-4 years ago. Now the noise level & traffic on the very winding parts of the narrow road have escalated to the point of being problematic.
As a local pediatrician I am very concerned about the environmental impact the gun club will leave. The ammunition used contains lead. We know that lead poisoning has horrible effects on children and adults for that matter when it contaminates the soil and potentially the water supply. Environmental clean up is astronomically expensive and leaves in its a path poor health outcomes for our children and wildlife. This is a pristine area of wilderness. I advise extreme caution and comprehensive review.
The peace in this one idyllic countryside has been completely usurped By this haphazard group / business . This is arrogance and political manipulation at it's sad Worst. Please stop this Dangerous and selfish group, They have no responsibility or Especially Respect for any of us who value The peace and quiet in this one little corner of the world. It is the usual 2nd amendment BS excuse to hide behind. The world needs MUCH less of this.

I strongly support gun rights but NOT irresponsible gun club activities. Wrong location, bad management, adverse impacts in an otherwise quiet valley. See the video in Daily Republic with shooter dangerously firing over property lines.
