CFRPC Temporarily Closed

RANGE CLOSED PER ORANGE COUNTY EMERGENCY EXECUTIVE ORDER

In accordance with Orange County, Florida Emergency Executive Order No. 2020-04 regarding COVID-19 (as amended by Order No. 2020-05):
ALL FACILITIES OF CENTRAL FLORIDA RIFLE & PISTOL CLUB, INC. WILL BE CLOSED FROM MARCH 26, 2020 at 11:00 p.m. THROUGH APRIL 9, 2020 at 11:00 p.m., or longer if extended by subsequent Order.

Central Florida Rifle & Pistol Club, Inc. is a non-profit corporation designated under the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. ┬º 501(c)(7), as a social club. Section 2(a) of Emergency Executive Order No. 2020-04 (as amended) specifically orders non-essential social clubs temporarily closed. While there are some 41 categories of businesses exempted from closure in the Emergency Executive Order (as amended), none of those categories apply to social clubs such as CFRPC.

The Executive Committee understands that some of you may disagree with closing the range at this time, may disagree with the interpretation of the Order, may disagree with the validity or enforceability of the Order, or may disagree with the necessity for the precautions being taken by the federal, state and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, for the time being, we will be following the mandate of the Order of Orange County.

The front gate will be closed and locked. The current 2019-2020 combination will be deactivated. When we are permitted to re-open, the new 2020-2021 combination will be activated. Additionally, the red swinging gate will be locked by padlock in front of the electronic gate.

We have advised the personnel of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office that the range will be closed, and have asked that they keep an eye on our property. If they see anyone on Club property, they will treat them as trespassers.

Please stay safe and practice sound hygiene practices during this time. The more that the social distancing guidelines are disregarded, the longer they will need to be in place. We all want to return to normal as soon as possible.

If you feel the need to voice your objection to the Club following the Orange County Executive Order and temporarily closing, please feel free to send me an e-mail to President19@cfrpc.com. I work full time, so please be patient in awaiting a response. Please do not call me, as I cannot take calls while I am working.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times.

Sincerely,

Russell J. Coley
President
Central Florida Rifle & Pistol Club, Inc.
