The firing range they are currently sharing with the prison was sufficient for many years and makes this range not necessary. The selected location being above see level about 250 ft is not suitable and unsafe for a firing range. There is not enough natural protection and the current plan locates it to close to the roa

I know my friends would like the same.

]]> Tue, 8 Jun 2010 10:33:39 UTC 7892201 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7891237?utm_medium=rss This is not an appropriate location whatsoever and it would negatively affect the community in a variety of ways to include noise, loss of property value, traffic, etc. If the state is experiencing budgetary shortfalls, where did this money come from? Adequate facilities are available at Ft. Pickett or Ft. A. P. Hill- let us use what we have!

There are so many other facilities that can accomodate this type of training. I agree with the fact that these organizations need to gain proper training, but not at the expense of affecting residents.

]]> Sat, 5 Jun 2010 08:56:59 UTC 7869586 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7868556?utm_medium=rss This is not fair to the residence that live in this area, their feeling should be heard before making a decision that will forever affect their lives

]]> Sat, 5 Jun 2010 04:05:37 UTC 7868556 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7867824?utm_medium=rss No need for this. Tired of government sliding add ons in on bills that no one even knows that it is happening!

Open your eyes and ears, they are cutting our kids school budgets and you want to waste tax dollars on this effort. The impact on the surrounding communities would also be devastating

This is unjust to people, pets, horses, cattle, and the Maidens Landing project. None of us need to live in fear of a bullet coming our way, which would be almost a constant threat if this range is allowed to be built in Powhatan.
People in positions of authority in the Commonwealth of VA -- THINK about your constituents!

]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 01:59:01 UTC 7791468 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7791291?utm_medium=rss The state is doing whatever it wants, and does not have to ask anyone's permission. Just because they can do this does not make it right. We will be hurt by a loss in our property value, and be constantly worried about the possibility of a bullet being shot towards our homes. Our peace will be disturbed by the constant noise. It will bring in no revenue or new jobs; so, what good will this bring to any of us? It will only cause harm to those of us within it's range.

]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 01:16:14 UTC 7791291 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7790763?utm_medium=rss As I sit here in the quiet countryside, I can only imagine the disruption of constant warlike gunfire that this shooting range will bestow upon my community. I have invested my money and valuable time into my home that sits in sight of the James River, only to find out that this shooting range will destroy my ability to use my property as I wish. I cannot make changes to my property without county approval. It is a shame that noise and the possibility of death mean nothing to the state.

]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 11:33:07 UTC 7790763 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7790754?utm_medium=rss This is a bad idea; it takes away from the peace and quiet that we enjoy and puts us in a virtual war zone. Anyone traveling Route 6 from 522 to the prison is at risk of an errant shot. For those of us who live here, we will not be safe. They seem to trust this 20 ft berm to keep us safe, but they would not trust us if the situation were reversed.

]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 11:31:23 UTC 7790754 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7786387?utm_medium=rss This is not a good deal for Powhatan. No new tax revenue and loss of property value resulting in lost tax revenue. We can't afford this.

Many neighborhoods in both goochland and powhatan counties will be forever effected by this full assault on our serene way of life.

]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 03:00:22 UTC 7776232 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7776051?utm_medium=rss My home is directly downrange from this range site. Errant shots that overshoot the backstop are likley to fall in my neighborhood and the noise will destroy the peace and quiet I now enjoy. Errant shots that do not make it to my neighborhood are likley to fall in the James River and hit someone who is boating.

]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 02:39:33 UTC 7776051 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7774303?utm_medium=rss Even as a life long hunter, recreational shooter, current NRA member, and advocate for conceal carry and law enforcement, I strongly oppose locating the VSP shooting complex amid the pastoral beauty that is Old River Trail. For those not experienced in the horrific noise and logistics of similar facilities, be assured they do not lend themselves to quiet contemplation. Such a blemish upon this tranquil Virginia by-way would be a moral violation of all that serves to rejuvenate the human spirit

It seems little concern was given to any of these factors. While we all respect the work & training needs of the FBI, State Police, & Inland Game & Fisheries, it seems there are alternate sites that would be better suited to host such a facility.

It is also a quiet place to call home. The road structure cannot accomodate this training center, and I certainly would not have moved here 2 years ago if I knew I would lose 10-50% of my property value on top of what I have already lost with the economy. Safety, noise and enviromental factors are of no concern to those trying to implement this plan. This is NOT acceptable.
