Is anyone aware of any publicly accessible shooting ranges and/or training opportunities in the state of Kentucky? If you know of one please post its name and location along with any fees or membership requirements you are aware of.
I ask this question not only as a reference for myself and others, but in response to a current thread regarding required training to carry a firearm. Not the first of those I might add. While few would argue the benefits of advanced training and regular practice, some seem to feel that one shouldn’t be carrying unless they meet these standards. I’m not looking to rehash that argument here, but it is my contention that many of the gun owners in Kentucky do not get additional practice and training due to the lack of facilities. I get the impression, from reading threads here, that states like Florida, Virginia, and many others have public ranges on every corner, but the closest one I know of is over two hours away.
I believe that having decent facilities available would not only encourage more people to get further training and practice, but would bring more into gun ownership to begin with. Many more people would be gun owners if only they had a place to go and someone to teach them how to use one responsibly.
