Possible Closing of Spokane Gun Club??

Any recent developments on the status of this club??

 

It has been sold but how much longer they will be open is a foggy mystery.

 

Thanks.

 

The place was there for well over 100 years. But people moved in around it and then moaned on and on about it. Now it is a school going in those acres that has driven them out somehow. A grade school I do believe. A place where little buzz-saw guys and girls can turn in only 10 years into texting tornadoes who live on FaceBook and can say things like, 'What's up dawg,' and, 'Yo, not much b*tch.'

Hey everybody,

In case anybody has any doubts, the info below on Spokane GC’s anx over selling their club grounds should convince you that life is weird. It’s never cut-and-dried. It’s always a trade-off,and nobody ever has the right to a guarantee of one-sided prosperity.

We here in Walla Walla want Spokane to get a good deal for their property. We want a bigger, newer, better Spokane Gun Club. We are all in this together, people. Whether or not you belong, or have ever belonged, to SPC, we need it, even if it takes a few years to get it in place.

As most everyone knows, Walla Walla Gun Club had been in a similar fix for the last 10 years. It took that long for us to come to an agreement with the Port of Walla Walla on a new lease. But we persevered, and now are the proud owners of a 50-year lease at a much reduced monthly rent.

Similarly, it may take SPC longer than they might wish to find and construct a new home. It’ll definitely take some legal horsepower to get a conditional use permit, which could very well eat up a chunk of their cash. But think of the future without a place to shoot! It’s the bullet that has to be bit if a huge chunk of Washington State is to continue in the shooting business.

Please read the article below sent to us by Dave Baker at Baker & Associates financial planners. We need Spokane Gun Club.

Sincerely,

BOB

from what I was told by one of the old board members, they have been allowed the use of it for 2 more yrs. But they only have a certain amount of time to find a new place

 

Trapshooting needs all the clubs!
