45Doll 5,877 Posted February 9, 2017 I got an email from NJ2AS a couple days ago about a lawsuit they were contemplating filing against Ramsey, but as I recall it didn't discuss what the ordnance proposed. I found this article on North Jersey's website this morning. Basically they want to outlaw shooting ranges, like Chicago tried to do. Last night they tabled the vote until they get lawyers in place. Currently indoor and outdoor ranges in Ramsey are exempt from the 'no discharge' prohibition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indianajonze 379 Posted February 9, 2017 when you need to get lawyers in place before you do something, it's probably a really good indication it's not good. vote them out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtonian 453 Posted February 9, 2017 The email did not mention what the hubub was about -- just mentioned the ordinance. I found the proposed site is 2 or 3 towns over, east of Ramsey, a good 4 miles away. Is this "Greater Ramsey" or am I missing something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted February 9, 2017 I am not familiar with this. Keep me up to date The Northjersey article states The borough will retain a national law firm on a pro bono basis in case of future litigation, before the council votes again on Feb. 22, she said. Sounds like they're gearing up for a legal battle, and merely postponed the decision until they have legal representation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twospot 38 Posted February 9, 2017 That new range sounds great. The name is pretty cool too (refer to my avatar). Not for nothing, but NJ2AS is kind of trying to make it look like they ar emaking so much headway. Then you dig just a smidge deeper and BAM you realize there is really nothing there. I do believe this range will be built. Any town that has that level of arrogance will go down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they manage to get it built, the city will do everything in their power to make life hell... Had that issue in Newark in the past... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aw c'mon stop being such a wet blanket. The issue is settled. I read it in my inbox today. Ramsey will have its range. Not 4 miles away but in the ShopRite parking lot off of 17E. Like your favorite outdoor range but with the added excitement of shoppers dashing and darting to and fro. Like Hillary these guys FIGHT FOR US.

Their efforts got us the Hudson reciprocity bill in its current form, forced Ramsey to begin construction of an elevated, state of the art gun range above Rte. 17, successfully recalled state senator Sw.... wait a second they didn't do that.
