Gun rights groups ask for injunction against Ralph Northam over indoor gun range closures

A coalition of gun rights organizations led by the Virginia Citizens Defense League filed for a temporary injunction Thursday night against Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and the Virginia State Police to allow indoor ranges to reopen during the state of emergency.

“The Governor knows indoor ranges are not dangerous,” the League said in a statement. “His Executive Order allows police to use indoor ranges with no restrictions on the number of officers on the range and no social distancing requirements before, during, or after shooting.”
