How about a Central Pennsylvania Machine Gun and Rifle Club?
I have been looking at NFA friendly ranges and I am discovering there are not many around. I am starting to think that as PA residents plus residents in states near PA that we should start considering the purchase of some land that would allow us to shoot most anything including the big boomers, NFA Machineguns, and our semi rifles.
What I am curious of is just how expensive would it be to buy up some old coal strip mine in some valley where we could ensure that enough land was owned to prevent future issues as so many clubs face these days. Obviously, things are only going to get worse and there are huge pieces of land that are undesirable for most but they would work great for a large rifle range...
Any idea on how such a project could be started? I wonder if a LLC could be established and sell shares in the Corp to purchase the land. From there, I wonder about permits and other details. I also am thinking that such a club may also purchase and store club owned NFA weapons which I would assume would be of interest to people in states line New Yourk and New Jersey where such weapons can not be owned.
I think it would be great to have something in the center of the state so that guys like me in the Philli area could meet those from the other end of the state and we could all have a place to call home. I also pick north-central PA as there are huge areas of old Coal mine area where I would hope land would be cheap.
Anybody else think this is a worthy idea? Anybody have an idea how a really large club could get started as with the weapons we are talking about we would want a huge area... An area next to a state forest would also be great...
I don't think this is a project that could be done in weeks, or months, and may take a couple years. This is just something that I have been looking at and I am looking for some oppinions as to if it's a project we should try...
Any oppinions?
