In the past ten years, I have watched three outdoor gun ranges close in my area 100 mile radius(2 public, one private) due to either liability insurance costs or neighbor complaints.
Areas that I used to duck hunt years ago have closed off access after the million dollar houses went up and its inhabitants that built their homes out in rural Northern Illinois didn't take too kindly to the sounds of shotgun reports and splashing/barking labs at daybreak. Musta slipped the develpers mind...
BTW- These are the same people that decry controlled bowhunts to minimize the rampant deer population which is devouring their prized flower gardens and the Canadian geeze that are crapping all over their imported Brazilian teak patio set overlooking the pool and cultured stone chimnea!
