Ito appears that every time someone wants to start a business in our overtaxed town people rally to prevent it if its in their backyard. I've lived in heating distance of the trap and skeet shooting at the rod and gun club for 45 years and have grown accustom to the sounds. I appreciate the concern nearby folks have but I feel the safety issue is the least of my concern due to the state's guidelines regarding this operation. If the building meets all codes and soundproofing then you have a bigger chance of being hurt by a passing car at the bus stops.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
