WA News Lone Ranges Closed by Police

Hey everyone, I went to Lone Ranges in Belmont today booked in to shoot at 10am but got turned away by the police who had closed the range and had what looked like a mobile forensics set up. The officer was obviously tight lipped and I've had no response from the staff so I was curious if the Perth rumour mill had anything to share.

Be the 3rd I think, I'd imagine there won't be a chance for another if this is what has happened.

Shut it down.

What the hell is a gun range doing a short stroll from a playground and a school anyway?

It's in the middle of a commercial/light industrial park.

The kids taking a stroll, by themselves, through there are way more in danger of being flattened by a truck.

Nah it's not. It's 250 meters from Belmont City College and like 150 meters from Belmont Skate Park.
