He is an idiot! Not only did he build the condos that were just woods beside the br&p, but also he built a huge housing development of homes right across the street in an area that used to be just woods.
Messina is an idiot like a fox!
His alleged plan is to try to squeeze BR&P out and take the property over for more condos. Some BR&P members who were at a meeting with Messina told me that they overheard him saying something to this effect to some of his people. [I was not present, just reporting what I was told by some that were there.] Messina is in the habit of getting what he wants. He knew what he was doing when he built there. According to the club president (attorney), every deed was to have wording in there notifying new buyers that there is an active gun range there . . . however at a closing you are handed a pile of paper a mile high and the likelihood that anyone reads them is nil.
The likelihood that he'll get BR&P's property however is nil. But his presence has severely impacted the club and thus some of the range rules, the lattice behind firing points, the no carrying uncased guns in the parking lot, the no gun cleaning on the outdoor ranges, etc. are all designed to minimize the accusations of "they pointed a gun at me" by the moonbats who live next to or behind the ranges.
Personal Note: One reason that I did not join Holbrook back in 1998 was that whoever gave me the tour told me that they were having trouble (or anticipated it, can't recall which) with the neighbors and I decided that I wanted to avoid joining a club that was facing that. The land beside BR&P was a sandpit back when I joined the club . . . oh well.
