Looks like there are alot of dolts posting that the ordinance sounds reasonable based on the 1000' proposal and it doesn't ban all shooting. What they seem to be ignorant of is the part about having to have AG zoned property and a zoning exemption for a range based upon approval of the zoning board which I think would be an uphill task to obtain that approval based upon political whim.Council meeting Tuesday. Lots of debate on Lowell FB page.https://www.facebook.com/groups/306...1546665688927242¬if_t=group_comment_follow
Seems like an ordinance outlawing shooting in streets and alleys in Hammond, East, Chicago, Gary, etc. would save more lives.

those places already have no firearm discharge laws on their books. this one is coming up as a result of city folks moving to southern lake county where those "southerners" shoot more often, abiet sometimes foolishly, and them northern transplate being scared of gunfire.
Explain ... approval for what? The way it reads, there is no permitting process or provision for exemptions.
