Commission approves zoning rules for outdoor firearms training facilities
Summary
Dickson County commissioners unanimously passed Resolution 01‑2018‑02 to establish zoning for outdoor firearms training facilities, requiring siting on a roadway frontage of at least 100 feet and conformance with the NRA Range Manual for indoor ranges and facilities.
The Dickson County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 01‑2018‑02 on Feb. 5, 2018, establishing zoning rules for outdoor firearms training facilities and related activities. The measure requires such facilities to be sited on a county road, state or federal highway for a distance of at least 100 feet, and states that development, operation and maintenance of indoor ranges and firearm training facilities shall conform to the most current Range Manual published by the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Commissioner Tony Adams moved adoption of the resolution and Commissioner Jeff Eby seconded; the motion passed by a unanimous 'aye' voice vote. The public hearing record shows no attendees who spoke for or against the proposed zoning rules.
The resolution text recorded in the minutes excludes skeet shooting from the outdoor firearms training provision and does not specify enforcement mechanisms or permitting fees in the meeting record. Further administrative steps for permitting, siting verification and compliance with the NRA manual would follow county planning and permitting procedures.
