Eagle City Holds Fire on Gun Rules | Boise News

Eagle City Council votes to keep gun range rules unchanged in the foothills, rejecting a proposed ordinance that would’ve restricted shooting to specific zones — citing the need to first offer new alternatives. As new developments encroach on shooting areas, residents voice safety concerns, especially when bullets might zip past backyards. A map suggesting BLM land use for shooting sparked further complications: even designated zones require private landowner permission, risking trespassing. Some urge the city to wait until its long-planned 80-acre shooting park — stalled by funding and a lawsuit — is ready. For now, the status quo remains, as the council navigates legal and financial hurdles to build its own solution.
