Drake Landing will be Allowed to Operate
September 1, 2014
Drake Landing will be allowed to operate a gun range on its property, the Harnett County Board of Adjustment ruled late Thursday night.
The late night decision comes after two days of debate over whether to grant the northern Harnett County farm a conditional use permit to operate the shooting range.
In its decision, the board issued the following rules:
Shooting is only allowed Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The range must be reviewed by certified range designers. No explosives are allowed.
No rifles over .22 caliber and no handguns larger than a .45 caliber are allowed.
The range must comply with county noise ordinances.
Each provision was voted separately and approved in either a unanimous or 4-1 vote.
