Gun club under fire near Carterville draws local concern
Williamson County residents urge action over noise and safety at the Williamson County Gun Club one mile north of Carterville. A 100‑person petition to Carterville City Council seeks help, though council has limited reach as the site lies outside city limits. Residents report loud shots heard a mile away, unsupervised firing, bullets landing near properties, and potential lead leakage into nearby creek. The club, open over 30 years, lists 237 members including state and local officers.
