See story Gun Club has been target of ongoing vandalism acts Port Perry Rod and Gun Club members are up in arms over the ongoing vandalism at their clubhouse property. The property, located on Highway 7A just east of the Is- land Road, has been the target of numerous acts of vandalism since mid-July. Padlocks on a chain link fence have been cut on several occasions, attempts have been made to pry the clubhouse door open, holes have been made in the outdoor shooting range backboard, and about 24 dan- ger signs have been removed. "It's stupid damage like that," membership chairman Richard Ashton told the Star on Friday. He says it's not the cost of re- placing and repairing the items that angers the members. The club is concerned about the safety of unwitting trespassers. The three-acre club property is located beside lands owned by the Ministry of Transporta- tion. The land has been set up as a rest stop with picnic tables and garbage receptacles. If a club member were to en- ter the outdoor range through the indoor clubhouse/range, he or she may not notice the gate lock has been cut or the signs removed, Mr. Ashton savs. A trespasser could receive ir- reparable eardrum damage or other serious injuries if they wandered onto the range dur- ing a practice. "These signs have to be here by law," he said, pointing to one of the six remaining signs. "It's not the cost of replacing the signs or locks," he says, add- ing he makes up the signs him- self. "From what I've been told, we have the best safety record in Ontario," says Mr. Ashton. "We'd like to keep it that way. The regulations make it (the sport) safe. Those who enjoy it, don't want toloseit." In abid to deter vandals, club members have reinforced the fences with barb wire and are - making frequent stops at the club. The police have also been notified.
