Pretty much, it said that if you built a house next to a gun range, your right to complain about noise or safety was limited. Other provisions limited liability, stating that anyone entering a gun range was forfeiting certain expectations of safety. All in all, it was a very wise piece of legislation.I wonder which one was there first....the factories or the neighborhood.
