Annual Capitol Gun Rights Rally
THE BATTLE TO SAVE CEDAR CREEK
A Range War has come to Missouri.
Attendance at this year's Annual Capitol Gun Rights Rally is extremely important!
The Range Protection Act, HB 2034, MUST be passed this year.
Since the anti-gunners have lost the battle on concealed-carry nationwide, and are losing the battle on the Castle Doctrine, they have changed tactics and are now trying to close firearms ranges by filing court suits against ranges for noise nuisance.
The range noise-nuisance case brought against Cedar Creek Rod and Gun Club in rural Callaway County has resulted in a $700,000 verdict against the Club and severely limited their hours of operation. As it stands now, Cedar Creek can only be open one Sunday a month, with curtailed hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The lawsuit could result in the closure of the Club.
If you can help fund the legal battle, information at Cedar Creek's website explains how to contribute to the Cedar Creek Legal Defense Fund:
You can read the actual Permanent Injunction and Judgment against Cedar Creek, as well as a summary of the case (written prior to the judgment by Mary Ann Gates), here:
If this verdict stands, anti-gun plaintiffs' lawyers everywhere will view gun clubs like ATM machines.
We must stop this type of anti-gun litigation by passing HB 2034 this year! Taking Tuesday, April 29 off work to come to the Capitol Rally (from 10 a.m. to noon) will help in a big way.
Full Rally details, including group transportation information, can be found at MissouriCarry's website:
Help spread the word! Download, print, and distribute the Rally Flyer:
How many people live within earshot of YOUR range/gun club?
Under current law, nearly anyone could file suit to stop you from shooting there, or greatly reduce the shooting hours.
Help Save Cedar Creek Rod and Gun Club.
Help save YOUR club or range!
Come to the Gun Rights Rally on April 29!
Be Safe,

While this was a very bad turn of events, in a case that I have been
involved with since the beginning, it is not the final battle.
It is the first battle of a prolonged engagement.
The legal case has many actions yet to be taken: motions for a new
trial (along with several other motions) and appeals before it reaches
it's final resolution.
Want to do something to help?
Come on out one of the days the Club is open and shoot a round of
trap/skeet or sporting clays and give some words of encouragement to my
good friends and friends of the sport shooting family, Ralph and Mary
Ann Gates.
Here's the Club's web site:

LTC "No Guns, No Money" Cards

which hopefully will further educate business owners and help alleviate their fears.
Be sure to purchase business card sheets compatible with templates 5371 or 8371. The card stock should be the type which will also allow printing on both the front and back sides of the cards (Avery's glossy will not, for instance).
