This video, filmed at the John’s Mountain WMA range in Resaca, was brought to my attention today. I’ve witnessed some truly horrid behavior at outdoor ranges, but I assumed that John’s Mountain was far enough from the suburbs that it hasn’t been subjected to this sort of treatment.
Apparently not. Besides the shocking number of safety violations, you can see plain vandalism to the property. This is why we have to drive farther by the year to find a 100-yard range.
