Just north of Rideau Ferry, Ont., hidden far back on private property, an abandoned gun range may soon be ready again for target practice. But residents nearby say they're adamant in their desire to never hear another shot fired there.
Just north of Rideau Ferry, hidden far back on private property, an abandoned gun range may soon be ready again for target practice.
Whyte says the site was once used by the Ontario Provincial Police around 30 times a year to certify their officers. He says an outdoor range at this location would be popular. However, he has encountered opposition from local residents who say the range doesn’t fit within the community. "We experienced the OPP when they were here and we tolerated it because it was very rare that they were there, about 18 times, maybe 30 times a year and they always let us know when they were coming," she said.
"The fact of the matter is that it's going to be a business and it's going to be going for many, many, hours, many, many, days of the week and throughout the year as opposed to what we'd experienced occasionally with the OPP," Chevrier said."24/7, 365? No. My intent of this was so that these retired veterans would have a place to come shoot, and myself as well," he said."I'm an avid hunter and it's important for hunters to sight in their guns.
"We will have strict guidelines. It will be a membership only, you will have to be vetted, you will have to have your proper licenses as set out by the government. We will be regulated by the chief firearms officer and if we don't follow the regulations, we lose our license. Pretty simple." "There's either a yes answer or a no answer and we have to make sure we have everything available to make that decision," he added.Fournier, in his ninth year with council, said no other proposal has garnered this much feedback from the community.
