I have 3 sons who live in Green River, Wyoming. Every time I go over we take a few hours out to go to the City Park and do a little shooting. This time I took my TC Contender in 30-30 and an old Marlin 336 in 30-30.

The City Council of Green River, in its wisdom has created a geat little 500 yard shooting range complete with a covered fireing line and shooting benches. There is a sign that askes the users to be safe and please don't litter. There is sufficient garbage disposal for shot up boxes etc.

I have lilved my whole life in the west where guns are in evidence everywhere and everyone has one, but I have never seen a city with the guts to sponser a shooting range within the city limits. My hat goes off to Green River, Wyoming.

That's great.

Every town needs a park like that and liberal big cities like Los Angeles and New York need 25 or 30 each.

Promotes harmony between the good and bad elements in a community./beagle

I think the shooting ranges (Albuquerque or Bernalillo County) are city park and within city limits.

Great facility with reasonable user fees when I used it 10 years ago.
