    Last year I had some work meetings in Lima. I went to this range. Wow. Just wow. It's incredible. If the Ft. Wayne location is like their Lima place, it's worth a drive.

    Here's a video from their place.

    I saw this yesterday, works for me, only 10 minutes from my house. The building has been sitting empty for years, might as well use it.

    I read though several comments on WANE TVs FB page and surprisingly 98 percent were people excited to see this happen.

    The videographer walking up the stairs right behind the shooter turning around for that target is a little shady.

    I hope this happens. Just don't underestimate the "power" of the zoning board. A lot of local residents need to show up in support at their meeting.

    These would be some sort of "safe" training rounds, you can tell by the sound. You wouldn't probably want to get hit by one, but they are not deadly.

    And Yeah, this would be a blast!

    Good luck to you all up North with this!

    I think they are pretty sure this will happen being there were advertising for a general manager and membership director.

    "Two people submitted a letter in opposition to the plan commission, saying it's not a good idea to put a gun store and shooting range in the middle of a cluster of retail businesses, that this request comes as we live in a time of unprecedented mass shootings, and that it's a mistake to approve another shooting range".


    But yet they could care less about the strip bar two stores down which seems to have shootings in the parking lot once a month or the other strip bar right around the corner. Guns bad, naked girls good. . . . :)

    Is there a hearing planned? That one might be fun to attend.


    Oh, and do I really need to post this again?

    Naked girls with guns even better. Maybe they can partner with the strip club and one cover charge will be good for range time and a lap dance.
