Moderates' election promise to invest in the country's shooting ranges

The Moderates are heading to the polls promising to save and equip the country's shooting ranges. Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M), Minister of Civil Defense, told TT that the shooting ranges are important "in light of the serious security situation."

I believe we may need more shooting ranges, especially around our larger cities, to be able to provide the important activities of total defense with training opportunities, Bohlin says.

Bohlin wants to return to the question of how the number of shooting ranges should be increased, but says municipalities may be obliged to offer alternative locations for shooting ranges if they are forced to be removed, and that regulations for opening new ones should be simplified.

Some things may also involve removing or reformulating various types of regulatory requirements that currently create cost burdens for operators.
