Chicago, IL—When I’m elected Mayor I will put out to bid a contract for a world class gun range on the lakefront.
Chicago’s new gun range and club would be placed where noise would not pose a problem for local residents. There would be a year around, well ventilated, indoor pistol range with 200 positions. There would also be an outdoor trap & skeet range where the lead could be collected and recycled.
Of course there needs to be a pro-shop with a staff of instructors. There would be a restaurant for the shooters. The range could also be used by police agencies and security companies during off peak hours.
There was that Lincoln Park trap & Skeet range at Diversey and the Lake that the Lakefront Liberals shut down long ago. It was a busy range and gave the lakefront character. Today there would be legitimate concern of lead contamination of Lake Michigan if the shooters were constantly spraying lead into the water.
The Cook County Forest Preserve could also operate two such ranges, one North and one South.

When my employment was closer, I was a member and got some practice a couple of times per week.
I've visited many other clubs and ranges around the US but haven't found one as nice. For those wanting to open such a business, the Scottsdale club would be a good place to copy.
As far as the liberals of the lakefront are concerned, all guns are evil and need to be eliminated. They'll never change their tune.
Lead comes out of the ground,and shooters put it back in.Lead is extremely dense and stable.It does not rust,corrode,melt or breakdown in the sun.
As long as you dont eat it on a regular basis or breath fine particles(#8 shot doesnt count) you will be fine.
