Purdue University Rifle and Pistol Club getting evicted from range

[JettaKnight]

No surprises really. The school has a massive liberal lean and is even more crowded than ever. I think they were looking for any excuse to remove the club at this point.

Not sure if you're serious, or have no idea about other schools... even in the Big 10, like WI or MI.

I got in touch with the president of the PRPC and she said she has been in contact with Applied Ballistics in Lafayette. Good on them for helping out! I asked if I can be of any help and at this point they'd just like to spread the word that this is happening. Original post updated.

If indeed, it is about the lead, then I would think a highly respected engineering school would be able to develop a solution. If only we knew of such a school.

We do, RHIT.

noome asked for a school program able to engineer a solution to their particular problem in that thread. They were shut down for reasons other than something an engineer could fix!

WRONG. An engineer can fix everything. Just ask a wife what her engineer husband's opinion of himself is.

I bet lead levels aren't the only reason they are wanting to shut down the program.....cough'liberals"cough

Great news from Purdue Rifle & Pistol Club Facebook page! Way to go Boilers!

"It is with gratitude and joy that the club informs all alumni, members of
the club, and members of the community that the Rifle and Pistol Club will be
moving back into the Armory for its practices and competitions. The president of
the Club sent a letter to President Daniels requesting assistance and our
request was heard, and answered. We will be allowed continued use of the Armory,
granted that we continue our lead-containment procedures as a club. We want to
thank Purdue University’s leadership for this decision.
Thank you to all of our followers and alumni that have been so supportive
of our group. We greatly appreciate all the support and help we received to be
able to move back into our long standing home. With this however, we would in
the future like to be able to accommodate all the shooting needs of Purdue. We
hope to augment the Trap and Skeet’s facility, accommodate the various ROTC
shooting programs, and of course find a permanent and safe home to the Purdue
Rifle and Pistol Club. It has been suggested we make it easier to donate to the
club. The following link is set up to do exactly that. https://securelb.imodules.com/s/146...&cid=4045&bledit=1&dids=1761&appealcode=10091,
or it is possible to go to the Purdue Support a Club Page to Deposit Directly
into our Purdue account Purdue University
If neither of these options are feasible, please message us and we will try to
accommodate. Further, we have appointed an officer to be our communications
officer to try to engage our alumni and followers in a more active way and let
you all know what is happening with the organization. We hope you follow along
for this year’s Club and Team activities.

Thank you to all of our members for your patience and help through this.
When we met in September, we asked that everyone conduct themselves
professionally and take this opportunity to learn about adversity and overcoming
it, and we thank you all for doing so. We will resume Club activities on Monday
night, 10/16 in the Armory with a short meeting prior to making the line hot.
We look forward to seeing everyone Monday night!

Pistol Team travels on Friday to compete at Ohio State this weekend. Good
luck!! If you’re in Columbus on Saturday, stop by and say hello!"

Excellent. Donation submitted.

For sure. Liberals hate lead!

Lead is to Liberals and Zombies like Silver is to Werewolves and Vampires.
