Oppose The Prospect Outdoor Shooting Range

There is a proposal to build a 36 lane outdoor shooting range at 178 New Haven Rd (Route 69) in Prospect. They propose to have it open from 9am to dusk every day, and offer skeet shooting. They propose to cater to every type of firearm including assault rifles and shotguns. This is not a Second Amendment debate. This is about preserving our quality of life.

ATTENTION: THE PROSPECT GUN CLUB HAS OFFICIALLY WITHDRAWN THEIR APPLICATION FOR THE NEW GUN RANGE AT 178 NEW HAVEN RD (RT69) THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS OF BETHANY AND PROSPECT FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Preserve our quiet corner of Bethany.


Our tranquil family neighborhoods will never be the same. An outdoor shooting range will...
- Lower our property values and make it very difficult to sell our homes,
- Disrupt our peaceful neighborhoods with the sound of gunfire - or worse, stray bullets in our back yards,
- Cause lead pollution that will poison our water and wildlife,
- Increase all town residents' property taxes to make up for the loss in value of Bethany homes near the range.
