Thoughts on a Chicagoland TIA Range Day?

I know we have a bunch of people on the forum from the Chicagoland / Northern Illinois area and a number of folks who shoot (I believe this includes Dan & Eric). So I just wanted to see how many people from the crew might be interested in getting together for a day at the range. 

 

Now I haven’t looked at the ranges in the area (Bristol,WI is the closest to me and their rifle range rules suck – 1 round in the magazine at a time), but I’m sure we could find something that would accommodate us. 

 

Thoughts?

Does anyone even dare drive around Chicago with a weapon in their car?

Of course. Terrorists. They love “gun-free” zones. We would be so much safer if we would just listen to our fearless leader, who is surrounded by armed men, of course, and give up our guns…

:huh:

Buffalo range shooting park is located in Ottawa, so that might work for those in the Western or Southern suburbs: http://buffalorangeshootingpark.com/range/

 

A couple of guys from work were talking about a place in the Western suburbs, so I’ll have to ask when I get in the office tomorrow. There is a membership range in Racine (Racine county line?) that is a membership range, but I know a member and I can ask if they rent out for groups.
