Discussion and Consideration of Potential Revocation or Suspension of Gun Club Registration of Rock Solid Range

Mr. Hulme presented a timeline of the investigation after receiving numerous complaints from surrounding property owners of Rock Solid Range, starting with the registration application on October 22, 2024, along with a letter of intent.

He presented evidence of complaints from Everette Bryant and Paula Bryant that the gun range was shooting after sunset. Videos were shown of rapid gunfire and some type of explosive. He also presented a 9-1-1 call regarding a brush fire on the property that spread into the neighboring property of Mr. Kenenth Waycaster.

Several neighbors testified that they were scared to even walk on their property for fear of a stray bullet, since the berms are not sufficient to block all bullets. Also, there is no gate or any type of monitoring at the gun range.

Mr. Morris Wiltshire, attorney for Rock Solid Range, asked Mr. Hulme multiple questions regarding the registration application and the complaints from the surrounding property owners.

Mr. Brandon Bowen, attorney for the County, stated that once the matter is concluded, the ruling will require a written decision.

Commissioner Alexander made a motion to table this matter until the next meeting. Commissioner Freeman seconded the motion.

Result: The motion passed 5-0.

Adjournment

Commissioner Alexander made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Freeman seconded the motion.

Result: The motion passed unanimously.
