Illinois is a whole different world than Montana.
I’ll take Montana anytime.
Someone moved next to a hog feed out operation near here and tried to shut it down because of the smell. That did not work out well for him.

We in Nelson NZ have just the same situation only one man in a remote place being a PITA he bought the place 40 odd years ago but now moans about the noise !. Police use it three times mid week but he doesn't moan to them. A chuffin nuisance but this isn't unusual these days .

This has been happening for at least 30 years.
california moving into Oregon, Montana, nevada, Arizona, an wanting to ban guns.
don't underestimate what they can do. A few people on a mission can destroy your life's, your communitys an your whole country.
On the other side, a few people can get things done for the good too .
One fella from california moved here an founded the Wyoming gun owners association.
So stand up an fight. Don't let those anti Americans cause problems.

Sounds like the same type of libs that move into the country side and insist that the farmer next door must stop spreading MANURE on his field.Maybe Trump will deport them back to California.
Wow thanks for all the replies. The property the gun range is on is owned by the township. We our sportsman club had a 99 verbal lease. We thought it was recorded but the township said it was verbal only ( ? ). We are now rewriting it to a ten year lease as of me writing this. The anonymous two trouble makers are no longer anonymous and the there life has been changed quite a bit. Lets just say the small town welcome mat is being pulled out from under them..!
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.
The only danger to them from the lead is if it leaches through the soil and contaminates the water.
Lead is only considered a hazardous substance by the USEPA if the pieces of the metal are a diameter smaller than 100 micrometers (0.004 inches).
Let them prove that you have lead contamination in the water. Do you have a well on the property? You can easily take a sample and have it tested for metals. If it tests high, well then you cant say you no longer dont know.....so be careful.

Litigation is, and has been the greatest threat to our freedoms. More so than any foreign enemy has ever been.

Same here for a new development built next to an operating farm that grows considerable corn. They started complaining about the whine of the big corn driers running 24/7 during harvest season. "Hey, you moved in next to a farm. It was here first." was pretty much local gov's response.
one can only hope. did you see italy is offering $1.00 homes to people who want to flee.?? ill help them pack.Chances are they will flee the country shortly anyway...
Lead naturally occurs in nearly every state.
I can understand the farmer next to my farm spreads that stuff on his fields man that makes your eyes water
Life in a small town has a way of ironing out troublemakers especially if it annoys the town as a whole.
My old Dad would use that on our hay fields, also. Lush green hay when applied that year, especially on the bermuda grass. Obvious inferior hay when not.
People in concrete cities, insulated from traditional rural and farming lifestyles, become over sensitive to the organic odors. The gut cavity odors when butchering, horse and cow barns, etc. LOL city folks probably would not take another drink of milk if they visited a odiferous steaming humid milking barn during "production".

Working on and around farms when young will definitely adjust what you think stinks.
The lead should be contained in berms.

Similar but different; the Greens tried to close a range near a large NSW town because of lead pollution and to bolster their case calculated the amount of lead based on the number of rounds fired and the calibres used
They then approached the local council and an inspection was conducted.
Result, very little lead was found, recasting ,particularly by niggardly muzzle loaders, had been left out of the equation.
I frequently do my civic duty and help to keep lead pollution down at our range.
