"The Sound you hear is the Sound of Freedom".
In a few days (once the final lighting is installed on Wednesday) the new Trainers Indoor Range will be ready to use. The 10 lane range is located at the Inter State Storage Cavern at I-435 and 23rd Street at the edge of the Kansas City and Independence, Missouri city boundaries. The cave entrance is the first cavern on the left as you pull into the drive from 23rd street.
It is a gated entrance and you will need to get a key from the Independence Square class room lock box to gain access or other arrangement with me. To keep everyone's schedule organized, use of the range will be by reservation only. Call me at 816-353-6826 to schedule the range and I will give you the lock box combo number. Please call me before you utilize the facility for a tour and I'll show you where the light switch is at (another very important detail when in a mine).
The range is available seven days a week from 0700-2200hrs. Later this week I will put a small bumper sticker size sign on the gate that says, "www.SafeShoot.com".
The range time costs $10. per student and I'll include the target for either the Kansas or Missouri CCW students. I'm flexible on time but it is assumed the CCW instructor can normally complete their course of fire with students in 60-90 minutes. There are no hand washing or restrooms in the facility but, if there is enough use, the budget may be able to afford a porta-potty. The porta potty may acquire the nick name; Sasquatch Hunting Lodge.
The facility is an old lime stone mine which was closed in the 1960's. The entrance and the gun range is in an area that has been minimally developed. The other entrances of the cavern have been converted over to commercial storage and small business use.
My Independence Square class room is also available to instructors for a small rental fee and includes props appropriate to a CCW class. Hand gun rental is also available. Also ask about my CCW Instructor Mentoring Program for new CCW trainers. This is a very inexpensive investment that will save you hours of curriculum development time plus will get your program started right away.
Hopefully the availability of these inexpensive training facilities will alleviate a difficulty faced by many area firearms instructors. I've heard from so many CCW trainers what a difficult time they have had trying to find a place to teach a class and then trying to shoe horn into a noisy public range for the CCW course of fire.
According to the Missouri Department of Revenue, as of 10-31-10, there were 116,254 CCW permits issued in Missouri (9,255 in Jackson County). Compare that to the nearly 6 million people living in Missouri and that means there is still a lot of business out there folks. Our basic intent in teaching a CCW class should be to impart self defense skills to individuals and families. By working together we can accomplish that goal.
