Ugh...getting "largest indoor shooting range" with "country club atmosphere"

It's being built in the city just north of me. Of course, in the reddest of red counties (in TX). High income suburb.

With the facility’s opening, we will provide Frisco and the surrounding communities with the total firearms experience,” said Jim Pisoni, president of the DFW Gun Range & Training Center.

Ground-breaking is set for April on an initial 27,000 square feet. Once phase two is complete, the facility will have 35,000 square feet with a country club atmosphere and investments totaling more than $9 million. Officials say it will be one of the largest facilities of its kind in the nation.

if it is an indoor range, then at least the noise and physical pollution will be minimal. aikoaiko Jan 2013 #2

I wonder if that experience includes being downrange during live fire?

If not it's a real pity.

Indoor shooting ranges are usually supervised well, too.

The Frisco Gun Club & Academy, featuring 40 shooting lanes for the public and six private lanes for members, will be on the northeast corner of All Stars Avenue and John W. Elliot Drive near FC Dallas Stadium. The club, shown in a rendering at right, will also have a 4,000-square-foot retail showroom, business center and conference room plus an extensive academy. It will hold concealed handgun and self-defense classes along with other training and educational opportunities.


Wow. Buy a gun, get lessons, practice, and go kill something or someone. All in one place. Fan-fucking-tastic!
