US Coast Guard to Create 34 Live Fire Zones in Great Lakes
- "And, for the first time in memory, Coast Guard members plan to use a stretch of water at least five miles off this Michigan [Grand Haven] shore -- and 33 other offshore spots near cities like Cleveland; Rochester; Milwaukee; Duluth, Minn.; and Gary, Ind. -- as permanent, live fire shooting zones for training on their new 7.62 mm weapons, which can blast as many as 650 rounds a minute and send fire more than 4,000 yards." - excerpt from this New York Times article, free registration required.
