LR, fast-forward a couple decades and you find 10th Group wanting to build a range on Ft Carson. The location given to them was along the eastern border of the range area, near I-25 and across the highway from a new development. As you can probably figure, the plans got out, and the community complained about the expected "noise" from explosions and gunfire. Rather than tell the community "tough luck for you", Ft Carson moved the range to an area deeper in the middle of the range complex, hoping to reduce the sound signature to the community. Just more of the same--no one is responsible for poor decisions (in this case, buying a house near an Active Army post and expecting there to be no loud noises day and night).
