I would like to get to know some people from around my area. I just learned of the Sharronville Shooting Range and I would like to have more people to go out and shoot with me as well as have some new friends that are not against the right to defend ourselves. Nobody in my family understands why I would want to carry a gun or even shoot a gun. Let me know if your interested in meeting up out the range sometime.

I'm from Ann Arbor originally but moved to Saline about 8 or 9 years ago with my family. I now live in Kalamazoo for school, but my family still lives in Saline.

Not exactly the answer you were looking for (because I'm not there currently, so no shooting buddy) but perhaps if I'm home for a few days I could contact you to go shooting or something.

Do any of you guys ever go out to the Sharonville Shooting Range out in Manchester? That's the only shooting range I've really been to since I've gotten into guns. If you know of any others that are cool (and free) to shoot at let me know.

It's not range, but I know people that own land and I shoot over there quite a bit.

Good thing about that is, I can practice how I want to without anyone complaining.

Well do you know of anyone that owns property that would let me come shoot? I like shooting out at the range but after a while, all the rules and stuff make it not as much fun. I would like to start firing a pistol soon and I would like to pull from a holster and rapid fire but you can't do that kind of stuff out at the range. If someone didn't mind visitors on their property to shoot, that would be cool.

I will be attending the University of Michigan next year. What are the gun laws like in Ann Arbor. I assume public opposition is strong? Do you know if you can store guns at the Ann Arbor police station? What about shooting ranges?

Thanks,

Adam

you do need to be careful in ann arbor, as a good part of downtown ann arbor is UM property and ALL UM property is GUN FREE otherwise i have had little problem carrying OC or CC in ann arbor

Also, mill creek in dexter has a indoor range and they do allow OC there, its a couple old timers that run the place and there are very nice there. as for storing your guns at the police station i have not heard anything about that, and like i said in my previous post guns on campus are banned so i dont know what your living arangments are going to be but i would take that into consideration if you would like to keep guns at your residence

I will be living in campus housing next year (mandated by the school). However if they don't offer gun storage, which I am certain they do not can you suggest another method of storage. Does this gun range you speak of have storage lockers?

i stopped by mill creek today to check and see if they had onsite gun storage and they do they say its roughly 10$ a month for 1 gun and depending how many you bring they will negoiate a price for more, if interested contact Ray Kroske at mill creek the # 734-426-3445
