Going to the mall for some range time....

No, this isn't another "victim disarmament" or crime at the mall story. Many malls are having problems maintaining tenants in this economy, especially with some larger stores (Circuit City, Old Navy, etc) vacating. Mall owners are getting more creative on the types of tenants they are including.

William James's Arms Room (shop and range) has just opened in a former Circuit City near Houston.

"Jin Dong, the manager of a Mattress Giant store that shares a wall with the Arms Room, is one of the gun range's happy neighbors. "People do come in here with guns, and that's kind of weird. But they have brought a lot of traffic. It's way better than nothing," he said. "I'll tell you one thing, I don't have to worry about getting robbed, that's for sure.""

This guy gets it..

Great idea I dont see simon going for it. But if you could make the old dicks on 82nd st into a shooting range that would be awesome.

All I need to do is win the Lottery, and go through all the zoning and Legal ! Then I'll just need to do it again to do the renovation!

Yep, that dicks is really tall though. Not sure the real estate overhead would be worth it. I have to say though, it would be the best use of a dicks store ever.

Do you live in the strip mall across the street?

It takes longer than five minutes to get through three stoplights in Castleton...

Heck just use the escalator, amd line it with varous Zombie targets! Heck do that with the up escalator and make the entire seconnd floor a Zombie shoot house. Althugh you might have to fight the people from PETZ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies)

They could make almost the entire Lafayette Square mall into a shooting range... or maybe that's redundant...

Hate to break it to ya, my step son works at Burlington Coat Factory and has told me that his store is schedule to move to that location next year.

FWIW, Dave and Busters' across the road could really gain my favor by converting the bowling alley into a range.
They wouldn't even have to sell the bowling pins!
