Rifle range at Kokohead CLOSED

Just got word that the Kokohead rifle range is closed indefinitely.

Not sure of anything else although there was mention that "emergency" repair work will be expedited once the solution is determined.

Septic tank troubles again?
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Let's hope that's all it is. Blue rooms will suffice.

If it is related to the bathroom, why can the model RC field at the Kailua swamp can get a brand spanking new bathroom and the range which has a LOT more users has to deal with this sh!t ?!

Yup, just heard on HHN.  Only rifle range closed tomorrow.  The clip said just tomorrow but double check for Sunday.  Mentioned two recent "incidents."

Above is confirmed.  More stray bullets today so rifle range was shuttered.  News just reported this.

Just saw the email from the rangemaster. The City Administration decided to close the rifle range till "emergency repairs" are made. Well, if getting the roof repaired is any indication of how long that will take... :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( x million
So its not a bathroom issue but reports of "stray bullets".

Kind of funny after all these years how these" incidents" keep occuring so close together all of a sudden since 1 particular person who by the way is a wierdo  :wacko: feels like some kind of power trip he wants to shut this range down. We as fellow " mericans " needs to shut down these tyranis types with swift and with prejudice means... meaningstand up and support or 2A rights people don't be fooled by the propaganda. O0

Don't hold your breath about getting this fixed. Caldwell only cares about rail, everything else can wait.. or go away.

KITV quoted Caldwell as wanting to do repairs to the berm and also install a visual overhang on the roof.  How long could "emergency" mitigation and repairs take?

I can only guess given the statement by the mayor about "overhangs" and the recent photographs taken my Mr. Knudsen...that there is "evidence" we are aiming above the mountain? I can only surmise that these photos were given to the Mayor by a cat lover of some sorts?

Not what I was hoping to hear.  I figured that would be the process.  Was just hoping that emergency measures meant they could install overhead baffles out over the front of the firing line and bulldoze the berm back into shape in a couple weeks.
