San Luis Obispo County shooting range temporarily closing

December 7, 2024

By KAREN VELIE

A San Luis Obispo County shooting range is closing the end of the month, though it is expected to reopen under new management in the future.

Located off Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, the San Luis Obispo Sportsman’s Association includes a public shooting range and club facilities. Its lease with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ends on Dec. 31 and is not being renewed because of violations with its state contract.

In 2021, the state first informed the association of mutiple violations. For example, the association failed to charge the agreed rate and collect money through the state system.

The association also renovated the facilities, but failed to make them complaint with the  Americans with Disabilities Act as required.

In January, the state will put out a request for proposals, which will be reviewed after 45 days. The association plans to apply for the new contract.

There’s a much bigger back story to this. CDFW went out of their way to target the SLOSA. There was an article in the Tribune back in September that detailed the strife.

One more way for the State of California to step on 2nd Amendment rights of Californians.

Why would violators who had their charter revoked for non-compliance be able to re-apply for it?

The existing organization has every right to apply. Any prejudice from F+W would be most inappropriate. That said, the existing organization is very dysfunctional and would need to show F+W a very different outlook if they want to get it back.
