I love it when jokes write themselves.
Guns.com:
The Airsoft weapons and tactical gear company MiR Tactical, Inc. has withdrawn its application to open up a gun store and shooting range in a Chicago suburb.
The Pioneer Press reported the company had wanted to relocate its Buffalo Grove retail store to a 29,000-square-foot vacant furniture store in the northwest suburb of Mundelein. The proposal included plans for a shooting range behind the building and a large indoor Airsoft tactical field. more here
The outside competition would bankrupt them.
Bringing coal to Newcastle.
Yep, bad business model. Chicago IS a shooting range.
don’t you love “free trade”, “free enterprise” ?
Why buy the milk,
when you can shoot the cow for free?
If you teach them proper shooting skills you will really see the death rate go thru the roof.
A draw to Mundane (sic) outside of Mundelein Lanes (bowling) would have generated a few dollars. Oh well, it will remain as is, a shitty suburb with nothing to do. Also known as Mundaslime because it’s dirty ghetto trash that highlights nothing more than a bowling ally. The mayor clearly wants to keep it as is.
This just in: MiR also figures that Detroilet would be a bad location, too.
If Chicago is a shooting range, you’d think with all the practice some pavement ape would have a better than 5% kill ratio. Chicago suburbs is NOT Chicago, we want to hone our skills so we can be better than 5%.
The shooting stalls in that range have to be ever so slightly wider, so the customers can hold their guns sideways.
Incidentally, do you know why they hold the guns that way?
Because that’s how they came in the box.

I did a Proforma for some investors on a high end gun range. The EPA is the killer. If you use those big ass rubber backstops they need to be “Mined” every 6 months and they treat that lead like a toxic hazmat spill. You need air filtration units like a class 100 clean room. And if you serve food around all that nasty lead things get much worse.
The best return actually ended up being about a 10,000 sqft facility that only used frangible ammo. No EPA. Ballistic ceilings are NOT cheap.
Too much compaction on the streets.
They have to use Streets and Sanitation snowplows to clean up the spent brass every Monday morning as it is, just so they can hose the blood off the streets.
Syria will pay you to open up a shooting range there!
VietVet, you forgot they need a car door and window for proper shooting technique.
