The owner of a firearms store says Howell Township officials violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution when they denied his request to establish a new outdoor gun range facility in the township. A federal lawsuit filed in November 2018 against the township is pending in federal court after Oakland Tactical Supply Mike Paige and township officials failed to reach a settlement. Last month, both filed responses to motions that further argue their cases. |

This case is a loser. The township has statutory and constitutional authority to institute zoning according to its community's priorities, and this land has already been zoned. It wasn't changed after-the-fact to prevent construction of a range.
I don't think any court would be able to find a reason to compel the township to rezone that area.
Sad to say, but that's the likely result. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
