I might not be able to hear the gunshots, but I drive Wooden Valley road to Fairfield often because I live off Hwy 121. My main concern is the fire danger from a ricocheting bullet. The 2013 Mt. Diablo fire was started by target shooting and a fire along the Wooden Valley corridor would be devastating and could easily expand into Napa County.

It's bad enough on the weekends it seems like non stop shooting. The valley is peaceful and quite and than it sounds like world war three with all the shooting. Not for expansion at all Bill Bowen

I believe it is a very inappropriate use of the land in this region regarded as an animal sanctuary the shooting range is very much a conflict of the real residents the wild life.

Though I have a Napa mailing address, my home is in Solano. The gun club is about 3 miles away and we hear the rapid-fire gunshots on a regular basis. Please do not allow this activity to increase!

Increased noise echoing over valleys and hills, hours, traffic over a single lane rd. increase in size of weapons.

The right to bear arms to provide for a well regulated militia does not include to the right to shoot them in a residential neighborhoods and disturb neighbors.

Funny that they are trying to expand gun play and practice considering the national debate. It's much too noisy and will scare wild animals and pets as well, not to mention people's nerves. We need fewer bullets flying. Though landowner probably has existing land use rights.

We have put up with the continual gunfire for many years, legal but irritating and inconsistent with the tranquility of the area.

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.

The disturbing noise causes animals to retreat and hide in distress. It is difficult to enjoy the calm and silence that owning in these hills allows with this horrible audio intrusion occurring.

The activity - intensity of activity - has increased greatly over the last few years. I can't imagine how unbearable the racket would be if they expanded this operation. Because of their location, this noise can be heard for great distances.

This petition is NOT about 2nd amendment rights. Some of the authors of the petition are NRA members! This petition is about a business without a business license or a permit to operate. They are expanding and have unsafe practices. The noise is completely out of control, there is fire danger from ricochets and the use of exploding targets, high powered sniper rifles and automatic rifle fire on a small 160 acre parcel. There are incidences of bullets flying over and landing on neighbors property!

I support the gun club and will support their fight financially if I have to. I have the means and am willing to keep our 2nd amendment alive and well.

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.

There are rapidly increasing noxious noise levels which include machine gun fire, explosions and loud shooting of other rapid fire weapons and detonations which are both intrusive and frightening. This is not what a person would ever be exposed to outside the military. This definitely does not fit into rural Suisun Valley.
There are apparently efforts to expand the allowed activity to formally licence it as some type of paramilitary training facility. I hope this does not happen and that this facility is properly regulated as a small club and not allowed to continue as some paramilitary facility which it has become.

The shooting has increased and gotten louder there ever. Traffic on Twin Sisters Rd
has increased with drivers that are not familiar with the road and it is dangerous.

We enjoy the countryside, without added concerns about additional traffic and fire risk and noise level that has continued to escalate.
