DC Range?

District’s First Gun Range Could Be Built Near Family Homeless Shelter
http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/...-could-be-built-near-family-homeless-shelter/

The neighborhood around the 2000 block of Queens Chapel Road NE keeps getting more interesting. It's already home to a concert venue, a marijuana farm, a strip club, and potentially a new Muriel Bowser-backed shelter for homeless families.

Now the area could also host the District's first gun range.

Concealed carry firearm trainer Leon Spears plans to bring the combination gun store and range to 2128 Queens Chapel Road NE sometime next year, whether Bowser wants him to or not. Both Bowser and Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, whose ward includes the tumultuous block, didn't respond to LL's requests for comment.

Ok has anyone heard anything else on this range?

I thought most of DC was a gun range?

BeoBill · Dec 22, 2016

Only on the sidewalk parts.

GunLvrPhD · Dec 22, 2016

That area is no longer such a bad neighborhood.

A range would be ok, but a second FFL so that Sykes has some competition would be OUTSTANDING!

Interesting. If this happens, maybe more folks in DC could start carrying (getting training, permits, etc.).

Yup it's in the street in front of the building...

The first time i met Leon, he was sitting in his parked car on a residential street in Adams Morgan jamming to Chopin.

He seems like a great guy. Pro 2A. Highly educated, devout Seventh Day Adventist.

Apparently well funded by investors and has DC govment connections.

Yeh I recently went through the handgun purchase bureaucracy again for DC. Mr. Sykes was great, but had a surgery that caused him to be out for a few weeks and delayed things a bit more (than usual).

I doubt DC will do anything to make the process easier or more convenient.

Absofrickenlutely! It'll probably never happen, though.

Maybe the 68 GCA can be amended to allow handgun purchase in any state.

Or baby steps, start with adjacent states.
