It is a County facility, set up and paid for by the sheriff's department for training , practice and qualification. <br /><br />If it is open to civilian employees of the sheriff's department or family members, then it should be open to the public.

Gus, have you asked anyone there if you could use the range? I, too, doubt you'd get a "yes" either, but still waiting for the name of this woman who has all these perks, at the taxpayers expense, and/or what department she works in at the sheriff's office and or for whom. Maybe she has a concealed carry permit that the department is helping her maintain. Are answers forthcoming from your source/you, or are we to wait as long as you say you have to wait to get an answer from them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732870587668053271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-70031555751693367392013-01-25T14:29:00.086-06:002013-01-25T14:29:00.086-06:00Sorry, Maverick.
