b) Except as  provided in this section, a person may not maintain a nuisance action for noise  against a shooting range located in the
vicinity of that person's property if  the range was established as of
the date of the person acquiring the property.  If there is a
substantial change in use of the range or there is a period of  shooting
inactivity at a range exceeding one year
after the person acquires the
property, the person may maintain a nuisance action if the action is
brought  within two years from the beginning of the substantial change
in use of the  range, or the resumption of shooting activity.

That might explain the fishing trip for information; they could be looking for anything that they might be able to leverage into "substantial change". Starting to offer carbine courses becomes "substantial change from public range to provider of paramilitary training", etc. This is why you never trust a lawyer; they're slippery bastards especially when wet and money makes them positively splooshy

That sucks. I used to live in Inwood and went there several times. Its a nice facility and at one time had a 1000yd range.

This appears to be the primary residence as verified by and using information provided by Frederick County VA.

The owners have 8 parcels listed, mostly in fairly close proximity and all are about as close as possible to the border. There is no "last sold" transaction date for what is listed as the primary residence but a few completely undeveloped parcels show their purchase was 1989; the rest are 2009 or later.

My guess, they want to build up right there, and while they could have potentially been living there since before the range, the house was built in 1977, and the residence on the adjacent parcel they own was built in 1990. Sitting on a decent sized parcel of almost completely undeveloped land, it's not hard to figure out the motive here. Zoom the map out two clicks and you can see the range.

The owner is 69 and 74 years old. I bet if they turn their hearing aids off they don't even notice.

The long and the short of it is the range has been there for a reasonably long amount of time and just now they want to do something about it. Eat shit.

If this counts as "doxxing" I will remove this, but it is all public info given from the Frederick county VA website and can be found in about 15 seconds. Fair is fair if they are gaining access to all the records of unrelated parties.

Hopefully the range wins the suit and then turns around and has a free machinegun shoot day with free ammo for all those that attend. Then I hope they set up a few General Electric M134 Miniguns and the event goes into the wee hours of the night/early morning culminating in an GE M134 tracer and explosion show.

The plaintiff, lawyers, AND judge should all be raked over the coals for this.  Judges should not be immune from prosecution or civil suits resulting from stupid decisions.  The fact that the suit has no merit and is expressly forbidden aside, there is absolutely no reason for the release of private information.  Lawyer up, refuse to release the info, and counter-sue for legal fees and damages if any info is released.  Name the judge.

I'm not a lawyer and I expect most of this isn't possible, but it really needs to be.  Our legal system is a fucking travesty and it's people like this that made it that way.

The existence of the protective order would suggest that the D's counsel moved to exclude personal data evidence and failed, with the protective order being issued either in the alternative as a fallback, or by the Judge as a consolation. I'm unfamiliar with the realities of WV court practice, but would you assume that to be the case here?

The release of private information is the really disturbing part of this.  Again, we find ourselves in an incremental battle to keep our rights and privacy intact.  We all need to hold the ground we have gained in this country.  We cannot let things begin to backslide.

Except this isn't true. It's not "expressly forbidden". The posted bit of law even sets out the conditions under which a lawsuit can be brought.

If they have convinced a judge that those conditions appear to have been met, and they have convinced him that they need access to those documents in order to establish their case fully, then what they are doing may be the correct application of the law in that jurisdiction. I guess it depends on what their fishing trip laws are like.

It would be interesting to hear from the people involved-enough to actually know what it being argued.

This is nothing like federal court unfortunately.  State level judges usually grant pretty much any scope of discovery.  The existence of a protective order probably just indicates the judge splitting the baby in order to resolve the issue and proceed with litigation.  Or maybe the defendant asked for it after the judge granted the motion.

I informed a member of the WVCDL about another range in the area that has had similar complaints.

The WVCDL has good people and resources. That county also has previous cases of noise complaints at shooting ranges. In fact I went to one of the hearings for it. The case I was part of ended up getting tossed out due to them little bitchs not having a leg to stand on.

This is also another reason all shooter need to support the HPA.

Would you suggest hiring our own or going with PNTC's attorney?  I suspect based on local politics who is representing PNTC but haven't verified it yet.

Oh and the WV attorney referenced in the other link, who is helping the CA douchebag attorney - yeah, the wife of one of their attorneys was popped for smoking weed in her car right on the street in front of the office.  That whole damned practice leans so far left I'm surprised it doesn't fall over.

I had an idea for counter attack after reading the paperwork last night.  

Flood the plaintiff & their attorney's with counter demands from individual members.  In exchange for the risk of our personal information being exposed or miss-used, ask them to put up a $10,000 bond, per name.

I would think that individual members would have standing but I haven't had a chance to research any specific precedence.  

Can any WV lawyers comment on the idea?  I would think that once the boilerplate is established, it would be pretty easy (inexpensive per member) to flood the plaintiff with individual filings.  Any downstream risks of this approach?

Edit to add, I see that @LawyerUp suggested something similar earlier in the thread.  Any suggestions for pursuing this path?
