When Chicago's NW side, Gold Coast, & Rodgers Park are no longer safe, Chicago has passed beyond the pale.

Recovery is not likely.

Target that will be used in Illinois CCW classes. Crazy big. GATS will not use this one because with the length of the range, at the qualifying distances, you shoot low and it bounces off the floor (their floors are pretty chewed up already). Target = B27 with 30 rounds at 5,7 and 10 yards with 70% accuracy.

So GAT wants the fee for training but doesn't want to use the required target.

As Bimmervet would say "I'm confused"???

Maybe once training starts they'll use it. They want to keep the facility in decent shape so might just be avoiding it for now. The floor on the rifle range has already been shot up pretty good. Not sure how you miss that bad and glad I haven't been there to witness it.
