To: The Punisher's Armory--
I used to shoot out in the strip mines when I lived in Belleville, but I suppose that Peabody has pretty-fied them enough where that isn't practical any more.
As a side note, if that's the Reserve Center near the St. Clair County Fairgrounds, I spent a couple of years there between enlistments in the Regular Army, while pretending to go to BAC.
Where I live in Nevada, the two ranges I frequent aren't monitored, so pretty much anything goes. To link with another thread, the Carson City range is where a disgruntled teenager, upset that he had been moved away from his girlfriend in LA, walked out to the range (about eight miles)and hid out. When one guy showed up early to shoot, the kid waited till the shooter went downrange, then grabbed his gun and shot the guy dead. He then took the guy's guns, wallet and truck, and headed for LA. The victim was found and identified, an APB went out for the truck, the kid was apprehended and tried as an adult--apparently, he stood over the victim, shooting repeatedly--and now is doing life without. He was fourteen.
Lately I hear that the Latino gangs will hide out and steal your guns then rob you.
I usually shoot at the Douglas County Facility.
