Payback is rough

Inland Fish and Game Conservation Association is likely to reopen its shooting range soon.

Reading between the lines of the announcement: a land developer bought land close to the range, then sued to shut it down, claiming that birdshot were landing on his parcel. A suspected real motive was that if he could keep the range shut down, he wouldn't have to install sound abatement measures while building a subdivision on his parcel. But, strangely, local authorities refused him permission to build the project.
