What happens when you buy property near a gun range, then try to get it shut down so you can make more money on your cheap, near gun range property? Well if the mayor is decent you get told to get stuffed.

Neighbours told council they are still not happy.

The sport shotgun club based on 129th Avenue will be able to shoot trap and skeet on Wednesday evenings from 6-9 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It can host up to eight additional special events per year, with no more than two per month, and no event can be more than eight hours in length.

One of the complainants was club neighbour Frank Vogel. He told council last week about his “utter disappointment and rage” over the new rules for the club.

Vogel said the noise level testing was flawed, because too few shooters participated. He accused the city of giving the club what it wants, while he has lost income from his property being used as a wedding venue, due to the sounds of gunfire.

...

Mayor Bill Dingwall responded that Vogel has been a strong advocate for the community, and said council did listen to concerns about noise and environmental issues. He said there will now be a requirement for soil testing, and told Vogel “I can assure you, you had a part in that.”

Dingwall said neighbours could only be completely satisfied by the shutdown of the club, but council does not have the authority to do that. The club has been operating since 1946.

They lost 1 day of shooting, but get half of every weekend in the summer. I'm sure Vogel will keep whinging, I'll be sure to shoot a few games there for him.
