Desert Sportsman's Use Permit

[godfather]

Got this from English Andy and I am forwarding to all of you.

As many of you know, Desert Sportsman's Rifle and Pistol Club is applying for a new use permit, for ten years. There has been an objection against the permit put forward by Howard Hughes Corp, stating that the shooting range doesn't fit in with the 'long term' plans for Summerlin. Howard Hughes Corp. owns the land across Charleston Blvd. from the club.
The Desert Sportsman e-board has sent out flyers to all members, to be signed and forwarded to the County Commissioners, to show how many people want the permit to be renewed. If you are a member, PLEASE sign the flyer and mail it ASAP, as the approval meeting is on March 4th.
The commissioner name has been left blank on the flyer for you to fill out, as there are several commissioners in Las Vegas.
To find out who your commissioner is, please call 455-3500.
Thanks,

English Andy


Please guys Write a note or send an E-Mail to your commissioner as this is very important Arlie Anderson did a great job representing us at the meeting but we are going up against Howard Hughes Corp. There are not too many places where we can enjoy our toys the way we do. If this fails we may not be having a match in March or any other time. Even if you are not a member send a note anyway. Below is a map and a list so you can find out who your commissioner is.
Thanks.

Sorry guys but the map did not copy. Go to the Clark County website and it is there. Please say that you are in favor of the ten year permit and would like you to vote in favor of it. Thanks for your support.

Howard Hughes Corp. owns the land across Charleston Blvd. from the club

Is this the land that hasn't had any progress made on it ?

I say we write the commissioner and also voice our displeasure to Howard Hughes Corp as well.

Never shop at Summerlin Centre , and never shop at The Fashion Show mall.

Howard Hughes is a subsidiary of General Growth Properties, based in Chicago.

Seems they aint too financially stable either .....

General Growth Properties Inc., the troubled Chicago-based owner of three of the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area's largest shopping centers, has negotiated a deadline extension until March 15 on two loans that reportedly total more than $4 billion.

The company had been negotiating with lenders since last November to delay the payment deadlines as it explores ways to repay or refinance some of its maturing debt, which totals about $27 billion.

they also own/operate:
Fashion Show
High Street at Echelon
Meadows Mall
The Boulevard Mall
The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian
The Shoppes at The Palazzo
The Shops at Summerlin Centre


Canyon Pointe
Center Pointe Plaza
Fremont Plaza
Lake Mead at Buffalo


Time to get the word out , anything owned/operated by Howard Hughes / Rouse / General Growth should be avoided like the plague.

I wrote and e-mailed my letter.

Desert Sportsman was granted a 5 year use permit. There were several people lined up to speak against the club at the County Commision meeting . We did have a few speak on our behalf also. The LE departments did help as they use the range a great deal for training. The county wants the club to do several things. They want more security for the property along with a change in the hours of operation. These changes will not affect our matches at all. I do not want to get into detail but we will have our work cut out for us when the 5 year permit expires. I would have like to see a 10 year permit granted but I for one, am greatful for the 5 year. I feel it would be foolish for anyone in the gun community to speak against the club as this is just what the anti's would love.To divide us is to conquer us. Remember unity is strength and no matter what your personal opinion is about the club I feel that we should all pull together to make an effort to support the club's leadership. Thanks for all your letters, E- Mails and support, it did make a difference. I guess we will be having a match on Sunday after all.
