I don't know if the closure is because of another stray bullet but the last two "stray" bullets were not the result of negligent members. If I recall correctly, the 9mm round was the result of ill conceived police training where an officer shot rounds as he lay on his back. The other was a round that was alleged to have been shot from across the river.
I, for one, am proud of the membership of the LFGA. If you have never been to the Lethbridge range you are missing out. People like Al Friesen need to be publicly acknowledged for what they do to ensure we have a place to pursue our interest.
It's going to be a damn shame if we don't find a solution to the problem. If it means that eventually a new location will need to be found so be it but that will take years. In the meantime we have hundreds of members that need a place to shoot.
