I am currently in an ongoing dispute with the Board of Dictators at one of my clubs here in VA. This club (Stonewall Rifle and Pistol Club) is currently the only outdoor range in the state that remains closed to members. Members of our Board of Dictators made the unilateral decision to close the club without member input—they changed the gate lock so no one can enter. Their actions are in direct violation of our club Bylaws. Despite attempts from many of our members, our BODictators is refusing to reopen the club, even on a limited basis to members only—and despite the fact that there are several proposals that would allow safe operation of our ranges. They are sticking to the ‘because I said so’ approach instead of allowing members to make their own decisions like rational adults. They supposedly convened a special BODictators meeting this past weekend to discuss reopening but no members have been apprised of the results of this meeting. Several members are calling for a vote of no confidence in the leadership of this board at our next membership meeting. What would you do if this was your club?

Unfortunetly most gun clubs seem to get run by cliques with groupthink.
If you want to spend money you could hire a lawyer and sue them to obey the bylaws but probably easier and more productive in long term to find some likeminded members and run a slate for BOD.
