Fernan Gun Club now seeks 20-year permit
Bob Smith started the Fernan Rod and Gun Club in 1990 as a solution to clean up an informal shooting range and to start a club that enabled people to shoot in a safe environment. Now, two and a half decades later, the popular shooting range is trying to secure a 20-year special use permit so it can stay open for all the people who love it.
