1. If we wanted to be generous to the guy we could assume that whatever is right

behind those bushes is something really solid - but even if that is the case, calling that a "range" is an insult to ranges everywhere. That's more of a 'gonna shoot toward that pile of debris over there and call it a target' than it is a range....

2. He hasn't heard of Yelp or the

Yellow Pages?

3. It's a shame what passes for journalism these days.

All that hinting about safety and not a single sentence about the governing state laws.

4. I could only dream one of my neighbors would do this.

My 4 acres are dead solid flat, not a dirt bank suitable for shooting into anywhere.

5. Hey man, dirt's cheap.

How bad do you want it?
