These look a little to foo foo for me. I will take a standard range. I probably wouldn't like most of the people that I would encounter at the luxury range.
Yeah, because the country club feel is really what we need.

Initiation fees of $7500 to over $9500 in addition to annual dues of between $200-$800.
They can keep them. I can envision too many elitists who are clueless wandering around telling uber stories about their uber dollar custom made jam-o-matic and how great it shoots at the 25 inch range.

Being that we have to de-demonize firearms, this is a great approach. Make it a "gentlemans" sport/activity and see what happens. Not saying it would work in Maryland, but as an example, consider the motorcyclist before it became cool...
It may also present an opportunity to meet and bend the ear of some influential and often hypocritical types. Think of the powerful people on the State and Federal level who preach one thing in public and then go shoot on weekends. This is the kind of place where they might go shooting. I for one can imagine how interesting a conversation with Chief Justice Roberts on the 2nd Amendment would be. How about the chance to photograph Gansler or that Loser Frosh with a gun in their hand. The possibilities are endless.
Pretty sure certain kinds of shooting were seen as a gentleman's activity (skeet/trap shooting, along with casual sporting clays shooting)
Honestly, I'd rather see more places like this over "luxury shooting ranges"

Obviously, you wouldn't be able to build such a large facility everywhere, but I feel the concept is better. (also more of a focus on outdoor ranges) It would be nice to see something like that in every state (or at least regional areas for smaller/denser states)
Have you heard of Fairfax Rod and Gun Club?
I have not. Is that where the political "in crowd" shoots? I have never gone to a range in VA.
