Civilian Gun Club Sues Fort Devens for Violating Constitutional Rights

THIS IS HUGE ... As a former member of "Ft Devens Rifle & Pistol Club" during the years of 1991 to 1993 (when I became a Massachusetts refuge) we shared the ranges with the National Guard and Army & Marine Corps Reserve. As a AR company commander, it was not uncommon for me to be on the ranges, particularly Hotel Range three weekends out of the month.

The four-count lawsuit accuses Fort Devens of violating 10 U.S.C § 7409 by attempting to charge unreasonable and exorbitant range fees; violating 36 U.S.C § 40727 by failing to provide logistical support to a certified affiliate of the Civilian Marksmanship Program; violating 5 U.S.C. § 552 by failing to provide documents sought in a FOIA request, as well as violating the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights of due process and equal protection and treatment under the law.
