In his latest newsletter, Congressman Raul Labrador writes:

I was delighted to participate in my first-ever “ribbon-shooting” ceremony Wednesday, marking a key step for a long-sought shooting range near Riggins. Idaho State Bureau of Land Management Director Tim Murphy, Idaho County Sheriff Doug Giddings and Jonny Wilson of the Salmon River Gun Club joined me in blasting at an orange ribbon to celebrate the transfer of 31 acres of federal land to Idaho County. The range, on a perfectly situated site high above the Salmon River, will be developed by the county and the gun club. It will benefit local sportsmen and sportswomen, law enforcement officers and visiting hunters. My office began work on the transfer in 2011; my bill transferring the land became law in December of last year. More here.
