Pecker Posted July 16, 2014 at 03:13 PM Share Posted July 16, 2014 at 03:13 PM If the property was titled to another entity, isn't the new title holder now responsible? They surely not only get the benefit of the property, but its liabilities.Yes, but the suit is because of lead shot that left the property and landed in a county forest preserve.

JMontgomery Posted July 17, 2014 at 01:01 AM Share Posted July 17, 2014 at 01:01 AM I really wanted to join this range soon. shame Join. This is the not end of ASC. Even if it were the end, it could be years in litigation. I'm in Bloomington, so it's kind of a moot point. HOWEVER, it is my understanding that there's a hefty initiation fee (hundreds of dollars, right?) along with lots of required "work days". Am I going to do all of that just to see the place go belly up in a year or two? I don't think so. My momma didn't raise no fool and I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. Part II: Would individual members bear any liability to pay that if the fine stands? I don't need that sort of liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need that sort of liability. That's the part I would be most worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadyRunner Posted July 17, 2014 at 01:39 AM Share Posted July 17, 2014 at 01:39 AM Technically, the board could vote to levy an assessment to cover a fine, should it materialize. It would be payable on renewal, not immediately. This is not a HOA where your membership is tied to property ownership. You can simply walk away by not renewing. I suspect most simply won't renew if came with a $10,000+ assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herrmannd Posted July 17, 2014 at 02:53 PM Share Posted July 17, 2014 at 02:53 PM Shooting ranges should get an EPA award for returning lead to the ground where God "nature" originally put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningfinal Posted July 21, 2014 at 08:07 PM Share Posted July 21, 2014 at 08:07 PM I really wanted to join this range soon. shame Same. As soon as their recurring annual "assessment" goes away, I'll think about signing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider12 Posted July 23, 2014 at 02:28 AM Share Posted July 23, 2014 at 02:28 AM As Paul Harvey would say; Now here's the rest of the story. This is from Dave Lombardo the ASC president. If you hear a rumor, call and ask about it. So far everything I've read about various issues has been wrong yet no one bothered to call and ask for an explanation. Let's work together for the betterment of Aurora Sportsmen's Club.David Lombardo, President Preach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadyRunner Posted July 23, 2014 at 03:08 AM Share Posted July 23, 2014 at 03:08 AM Yes they can, but how many members show up to vote? The Board has a proxy for members not present. If that did happen, I won't be renewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that did happen, I won't be renewing..The board does not have proxy.The vote is based on the members present. I'm sure if there was to be a vote on a substantial assessment there would be many more then the usual 40-50 people that show up at the monthly meeting.

RoadyRunner Posted July 23, 2014 at 03:34 AM Share Posted July 23, 2014 at 03:34 AM I am certain you are correct. However, when issues have come up before the meeting has been known to be moved to a place and time that makes if very difficult for many to attend. I hope it does not come to this though, and I doubt it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
