Clovis City Council agreed Monday to give the owner of an indoor gun range more time to address noise complaints from unhappy neighbors.

At a short public hearing, the council voted unanimously to give Jacob Belemjian, the owner of the Firing Line, 180 days to reduce gunfire noise.

The 5-0 vote came after the Clovis Planning Commission held a seven-hour meeting on Feb. 26, where neighbors raised concerns about the noise reaching their quiet neighborhood and urged city officials to fix the problem.

The commission and neighbors reached a compromise giving the owner of the gun range more time to come up with a solution.

Bring on Senate gun vote

Bring on Senate gun vote

I am writing in response to your March 23 editorial, "Senate needs a gun vote." You refer to the so-called gun lobby as if it's a single entity. You should understand that it, in fact, consists of millions of individual gun owners; law-abiding citizens who are members of the NRA, Gun Owners of America, The Second Amendment Foundation and others.

I agree though, let's have the vote. Because then we'll also be able to determine which lawmakers are willing to strip law-abiding citizens of their constitutional rights and freedoms. Then, in 2014, let the chips fall where they may.
