The proposed establishment of an indoor gun range in Subryanville in 2018 is causing unease among residents as to the likely repercussions on the traditionally residential area.
Last month the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a notice indicating it had received 11 applications from various companies for Environmental Authorisation. One of the Companies, S&S Security Inc., applied for the authorisation of an indoor gun range in Subryanville. According to information received by Stabroek News, the company’s target audience would include licensed firearm individuals, security companies, the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), members of the Guyana National Rifle Association (Guyana NRA) and other military and paramilitary organisations in the Caribbean.
Residents of the community indicated that they were having a hard time obtaining the requisite information from the EPA about the project. They were also unsure as to where to lodge their objections.
