The entrance is in Harvard.
So if he’s so supportive of the club will he be calling or writing Bakers office to voice his opposition to the closure of ranges and shops on behalf of his department?This just hit my inbox:
ALL HSC SHOOTING RANGES CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
THIS APPLIES TO OUTDOOR RANGES AND THE INDOOR RANGE.
OTHER HSC FACILITIES ARE NOT CLOSED.
We hope that our Members understand that the closure of HSC facilities was not a decision made by the Board. We received a direct order from the Boxborough Police Chief to stop. A Boxborough officer was dispatched to HSC to inform individuals who were at the Club.
We continue to pursue a better resolution to this situation. The Chief tells us that he does not like to see activity stopped at HSC, but their current review of the Governor's order concludes that this is the proper course of action. He knows, and supports, that we will be constantly working to re-open our facilities.
We also hope that HSC Members will benefit from getting some outdoor-time at HSC, which is one of the best locations for our Membership to maintain separation. Get out in the woods. Maybe do some fishing. Find interesting wildlife. And unwind.
Ross, if you lived in MA you can bet that you'd be ordered to shut down shooting on your own property too! That's the way MA rolls!Jeez... I've been missing MA gun clubs since I moved up here (nearest club is 45 minutes away, and there are no action pistol pits there). Now I'm glad I can shoot on my property. Can't shut THAT down.
IIRC, I read that either Healey or MSP sent an ORDER to all police chiefs to shut down every dealer and range. I could be wrong but recall reading something either here or on FacePlant's MA Guns pages.
Exactly my thoughts. Only reason I am happy they relented and allowed “other activities.” It shows that it shooting being targeted, not use of grounds. Complete overreach!Lol.... so how is shooting any different from any other lawful outdoor activity on club grounds?
Would be interesting if someone could get a copy of this memo... probably useful for a lawsuit or other legal
action...

You are confusing the issue with relevant facts. It's an old Soviet trick - the law means what we say it does, not what is written in the statute.What am I missing? As long as social distancing rules are followed why are gun ranges subject to the rules?
How can "Other HSC Facilities" be any safer than the ranges...?ALL HSC SHOOTING RANGES CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Makes absolutely ZERO sense. It's obvious there's an agenda here since it involves gunz. There's probably some behind the scenes crap with Faker and Healey and reaching out to police chiefs?? DunnoHow can "Other HSC Facilities" be any safer than the ranges...?
Totally unnecessary. There was a big thread on Harvard Nextdoor today about. My guess is some wing nut calls the cops. Here's a link to the thread if you want to see some of the first class idiots that live here. Shooting at Harvard Gun Club today? — NextdoorThis just hit my inbox:

This should be mentioned in any Litigation against Local Police Departments and Elected Officials...Makes absolutely ZERO sense. It's obvious there's an agenda here since it involves gunz. There's probably some behind the scenes crap with Faker and Healey and reaching out to police chiefs?? Dunno
Way worse than gun owners, and may have much better Contacts...Can’t wait for all the golfers to start getting pissed off.
