Indoor Shooting Range And Gun Store Coming To Naperville

An indoor shooting range and gun store is coming to Naperville, according to the Naperville Sun.

This will be Naperville's first indoor range. Other indoor gun ranges in the area include Article II in Lombard, J.R. Shooting Sports in Aurora, and The Range at 355 in Bolingbrook.

City staff are still reviewing plans before issuing a full building permit, but a permit for foundation work was issued on March 5. City staff have not reported any concerns about the planned 14,000 square-foot range and gun store.

"The people going to that range are going to be very safe," Bill Novack, director of Naperville's Transportation, Engineering and Development department told the Sun. Novack also said the range will be in an industrial area, away from homes.

Point Blank is a Cincinnati-based company that has locations in Hodgkins and Mokena, Illinois and in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
