My guess he won't care either way from all that sand they're mining, cha-CHING LOL
Only problem there is he’s not mining. At one time it was owned by Cheney enterprises. From what I know kenny rents the house and grounds. They’re apparently about to mine the area where his operation is. That’s why he’s trying to move his operation.
Jay Falstad………. He’s a dick.
Neither. From what I understand MDE is requiring the grounds be excavated due to high lead content. Apparently all the years of clay shooting at that location has resulted in large amounts of lead shot leaching into the ground.
I would say these people were the instigators and they will continue to try to stop shooting anywhere.

ShoreRivers Reaches Settlement with Shooting Range over Toxic Lead Allegations
Isabel Hardesty, executive director of ShoreRivers, says, “Many hunters and sport shooters are conservation-minded, and I urge these communities to look at this as an opportunity for improvement. Can we do more to protect against the damages of lead shot, or further curtail its use by switching to steel or other non-toxic alternatives, in order to protect our shared environment? ShoreRivers welcomes the opportunity to work with the sport shooting community in these endeavors.”
Not sure where it started, but I do know that all clay shooting clubs in the area are being checked. There will be a lot of clubs shut down before it’s done.
Wonder about Delmarva Sporting Clays and Rifle Range. One can only imagine how much lead is in that area.
Something similar happened with my gun club in my home town (Harrisburg Hunters and Anglers). The club was established in 1896 and has operated continuously since. In the 1980s- almost a hundred years later- a residential development was built next door and the new residents tried to get the club shut down due to excessive noise.
The judge was quick to realize the homeowners knew darn well they were buying next to a hundred year old gun club and were well aware of the noise in advance. Mind you, this was PA and not Marylandistan.
Out in Montana it’s happening. We’ve been plinking against the hillside since we were kids with our .22s at my uncle’s cabin since the 1980s. Back then there were maybe 4 other cabins within 200 yards. It was 40 minute drive to the ‘burg (town), half of it on the county’s dirt road. Kinda remote but on the grid- we had electricity!
Now the Cali expats and other transplants who snatched up lots and built on them expect the woods to be all sorts of quiet. Been shooting there for 40+ years. Last summer when the sheriff came round to take a noise complaint, the first thing he said to us was, “I know you’re perfectly within your rights to be shooting on your property...”
Damn right. Thanks, and sorry deputy that you had to waste your time on this. We did extend him an invite if he wanted to ring some steel on his off duty time.
He is, and unrepentant at that.
