craig71188 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 See below - this will be convenient for those of us in NW Columbus... ThisWeek Newspapers reports: http://www.thisweeknews.com/content/stories/northwest/news/2012/08/14/gun-store-shooting-range-planned-for-bethel-road.html OR: Two Perry Township police sergeants will break ground next month on a new state-of-the-art gun store and range on the Northwest Side. Philip Delbert and his son Eric Delbert, who have more than 50 years of combined law-enforcement experience, will open LEPD Firearms and Range this fall at 999 Bethel Road. "Being in law enforcement most of our lives, we think we know how to do it right," said Philip Delbert. He said the gun store likely will open in October, with the range following about a month later. The facility will offer firearms-proficiency qualifications for law-enforcement personnel and general gun-safety and concealed-carry permit classes. There also will be a gunsmith on site. Eric Delbert has been a licensed gun dealer for seven years and brings an elevated level of knowledge about firearms. Philip Delbert said they have purchased the entire center, which includes two separate parcels. The other building currently houses Cafe Courier, All-American Eyeglass Repair and Toxicology Associates Inc. He said the plan is to connect the two buildings. The gun complex, to be built by professional gun-range company, will occupy 12,000 square feet of space toward the rear of the facility, taking over the former Toul-Bo Korean grocery store and another vacant storefront. The land is in Perry Township. The Township Board of Zoning Appeals last December approved a conditional-use permit for the site. Tentative hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and abbreviated hours Sunday. There is discussion of staying open until 2 a.m. one night a week so law enforcement officers assigned to second-shift work schedules can get a chance to use the facility, Philip Delbert said. "We don't know how cost-effective that will be for us, but it is something we kind of want to try," he said. Those with little or no experience shooting a gun will be required to view a safety video and will be monitored by cameras for safety purposes. Philip Delbert said noise will be at a minimum. The building is set back far from the road, and away from any residential properties. It is bordered to the west by railroad tracks. "You'll get more noise from the trains going by then you'll ever get from our facility," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I can not believe a shooting range on Bethel Rd. This great though. I'm in that area all the time with my work. I actually have an account right across the street that I am at once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharris89 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 1 exit south on 315. Between this and the new Cabellas maybe Vance's will finally get some competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
