I like simple explanations.

More reason to remove suppressors from the NFA list.

I'd hate to count the number of airports that have been forced to close because the housing developments that grew up around them (cheap land due to noise) didn't like the noise after they moved in. People are just plain stupid!

Wasn't there a skeet and trap range in Germantown that was closed down by the new home owners down the street... so sad

Creasap had to move. They tried baffles and enclosures to no avail. When I saw the tops of houses over the trees I knew it was over.

Unbelievably, MD actually has a Range Protection Law in place since I think '06-'07 timeframe. No private noise actions. Senator Astle was a close friend of J&P when a chicken necker tried to close them down. IIRC He and Pippin were sponsors.

You HarCo boys are scaring the nice folks from Baltimore.

You bet. A couple bought a nice big house along my road. They were from Sykesville and came out for the peace and quiet.

I don't suppose the realtor ever brought them out here on a weekend.

All the shooting around here (including the occasional class 3) unnerved them. They put the house up for sale. They bought high, so it sat on the market for a long time before coming down to a sell point.

I may know some kids who used to activate crossing signals with an old set of jumper cables back in the day. :innocent0

Should be easy to test that out with a few feet of wire.

Didn't this happen in Marriottsville area as well? My aunt used to live off of Hernwood and said HoCo yuppies were moving there for cheap land and complaining about those darn rural rednecks from shooting on their own land and at the range. There oughta be a "We were here first so deal with it" ordinance.

This is similar to the huge flight from blight, from the city to the country.

People move into a farming, hunting and shooting society and complain that the fertilizer smells bad and the guns are dangerous and they finally get their way.

A nation of pussies is in our future.

I like pussies Marko...

Please don't do this on tracks with wayside signals. It can cause a true CF.

Unfortunately, the "We are here now, so YOU deal with it" ordinances are routinely bought and paid for by the yuppy filth making it's way out of Howard and Montgomery counties. :mad54:
