The setting up of a shooting range near a retreat house is like building a hospital near a quarry. It makes no sense. An entertainment entrepreneur recently complained that there are too many gentlemen’s clubs in Paceville, which is detrimental to tourism. This means that certain establishments should be compatible with their surroundings. To make matters worse, the proposed shooting range will be built on arable land.
Why not make use of vacant buildings like Fort Bengħisa or Fort Delimara? Certainly a shooting range there will be less of a hindrance? Arable land, on the other hand, will be put to better use by farmers.
