The Desert Sportsman’s Rifle & Pistol Club located on Charleston just on your way towards the visitor center at Red Rock Canyon has a license that comes up for renewal every ten years. ( CLUB WEBSITE ) It has always been a good place to go shooting and almost anything goes, machine guns, automatic weapons and your regular guns and rifles. They have gun safety courses and are members of the NRA.
However as Summerlin grows should this range really be located where it is? The villages that are most affected are The Paseos, The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, and the new village which will be built west of The Paseos.
I had the honor today to attend The First Summerlin Blogger’s Breakfast. Tom Warden, (Senior Vice President of Community and Government Relations of the Howard Hughes Corporation ) came to speak to us about the latest going on in Summerlin. He just found out today about the hearing this evening on the renewal for the club and he will be there to oppose the license being renewed.
This first meeting is just the committee and will most likely go to the full commission in about a month. There is NO Notification to neighborhoods around the shooting range so it will be up to the blogger’s and Home News to advise people of this.
This blog will have an update with the date and time we will be able as Summerlin Residents go down and give our opinion on the renewal of this license. I have always believed in the right to bare arms but is this Rifle and Pistol Club now too close to where our families live? I would like some comments on this.
After the meeting I drove up and snapped a couple of pictures.
