OpenRange

From Barry Laws:

What the heck is going on with that new Firearms and Paintball Sports Facility?

WOW!

Much has gone on since we all met and were victorious at the grueling zoning variance meeting. We have prepped the interior of the building for renovation and are positioned to move forward. As always, things take about 3 times longer than planned. We were to be open mid July, and that is definitely going to be pushed to around November or December.

So what's been the hold up? Paperwork to be exact. Banks work in mysterious ways (at least to common man) and definitely at their timing, not mine. This facility is a huge commitment and that just takes time. We are just now grinding out the final details for signatures and once underway our fine construction team at Southern Contracting will kick back into gear to bring this baby to you folks in as timely a manner as possible.

We are also working on our new website and should have that available for updates in a month or two. I'll send you the entire link when that is up.

Our name is:

OPENRANGE.

Once built we will have established a beacon for the indoor shooting sports and a wonderful community recreation center. I can't wait to visit it myself. Check it out:

100 yard air-conditioned indoor perfect ballistic rifle target range with electrical retrieving targets 25-yard air-conditioned indoor target pistol range and tactical pistol range, both with computerized interactive targets. 12,000 square foot air-conditioned indoor paintball arena - awesome Firearm and Paintball Pro Shop offering sales and rentals in paintball, rifles and pistols... and yippee... Machinegun rentals!!! Facilities for meetings and parties. Clean, well lit, and beautiful.

So where will this wonder facility be built?

Crestwood, Kentucky.

What Do You Mean, Gun Control Applies to US?

Jim Duffy of the Deputy Sheriffs' Association of San Diego County writes:

"Unfortunately, the law enforcement community has been put into a situation where it is no longer safe for us to include our families in this time-honored tradition...This presents a number of potentially dangerous scenarios for our officers and their families...I don't know how you can ask the people...to put their spouses and children in a situation that could bring a great deal of harm and fear into their lives....shouldn't he be able to employ the necessary protective measures needed to ensure that his family will not be the target of any retribution attempts by that street gang?"

Well, uh, gee, Jim, where do I begin? I suppose I should start by welcoming you to the club.

You could do what some of us feel compelled to do in situations where we believe it prudent to go armed for the protection of our families. But then, if you or your brother officers discovered that, you'd do your utmost to destroy our lives.

Wouldn't you?
