According to the city&#8217;s planning department, the land is zoned industrial and gun ranges are a permitted use. Translated from PlanSpeak, that means the gun range meets the previously established criteria to be located there and must be allowed to operate in that location.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sacramento.cbslocal.com\/2014\/10\/07\/rancho-cordova-students-faculty-protest-proposed-gun-range-250-feet-from-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So, you can guess what the students did next<\/a> &#8211; they held a protest complete with what appear to be professionally made signs. They had slogans like &#8220;Legal? but WRONG WRONG WRONG&#8221; and &#8220;Way TOO CLOSE for Comfort&#8221;. It appears from the news story that the &#8220;protest&#8221; was organized with the full cooperation of school officials. One has to wonder if the students really organized it or were given it as class assignment for a grade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reason.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/09\/gun-range-moves-in-next-door-to-school-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reason.com comments on the story<\/a> and the slant given to it from the reporter from CBS Sacramento:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>The local news story spins this as a beneficial lesson in participatory democracy for the high schoolers.
