The Atlanta City Council may vote on an ordinance this week that would restrict gun ranges from locating within 800 feet of residential neighborhoods, schools and churches.
The proposed ordinance, sponsored by Atlanta City Councilwoman Yolanda Adrean, was prompted when a shooting range announced plans to open in Loring Heights, a West Atlanta neighborhood.
The 30,000-square-foot proposed project on Bishop street would replace a plumbing supply building, and would have 24 indoor firing lanes.
So our Patch Question of the Week is, would you want an indoor shooting range in your community? Are these facilities safe, or do you think they're too dangerous? Take our Patch poll and share your thoughts and opinions in our Comments section below.
