saw it on the news but missed which one thanks for the info. Those shooters were lucky, the news said that the wall directly behind the firing line collapsed as a half dozen people were lining up to shoot

I WAS AT THE BULLET TRAP, PLANO today with a buddy. He wanted me to go with him and walk him through the CHL QUAL and give him pointer and such... I saw no less than " 4 " places were the roof was leaking likea RIVER.. HAHAHAHAHA Maybe people should have better muzzle awareness and not shoot the roof.

I am the ops manager at DFW. The roof over the main firing range collapsed. That caused the side wall towards the parking lot to fall outward. Several vehicles were damaged and a customer had some face and head lacerations.
We have standing water in the range. We will be closed for a while. Insurance adjuster will give us a better idea tomorrow. We already have armed security in place, and our security camera system is still functional. Range staff will also be there. We all own AR's too. Natonwide, PM me and I will see if I can get Steve to call you. |

He said there was water in his office, even in his gun safe, and he would be working from home for awhile. |

Water damage sucks, mold especially sucks. Glad no one was killed.

After reviewing the damage we will be out of the shooting business for a couple of months. However, we are still in the training business. I have classrooms, and I am working on a range to use temporarily to qualify folks until we get the OK from the structural engineers to use our 5-lane range. Those lanes could be up in a couple of weeks too.
The showroom and retail end should be up quickly too. Anyone know of a range that we could rent lanes from when we need to qualify folks? |

The inside has already had remarkable work done. The structure will wait for engineers, tomorrow or Wednesday. We have security that is VERY armed. BTW, the weapons are in safe and secure storage. |

I don't really know anything about them, but you might check with the folks at Elm Fork. They're on Luna just north of Northwest Highway, so not too far from the DFW gun range. |
