Three local former Marine friends want to open an indoor firing range and retail gun store in Maryville.
David Perry, Johnny Anderson and David Stone want to purchase the old Waters Grocery building at 2208 Old Knoxville Highway, Maryville.
Currently the structure, owned by Dwight Price and Lyman and McDaniels Builders, is occupied by a consignment antique business.
Perry said that the firing range would be located in the basement of the building and would be surrounded by dirt on three sides.
He said handgun carrying and personal protection classes would be available.
The plan would be to have a retail business selling guns and accessories, such as holsters and belts, on the upper floor that fronts Old Knoxville Highway.Before the business can become a reality, operators must get permission from Maryville City Council.

Why do they need permission to open up a business from the City Council?

Is this going to be brought up at the next Council meeting. Please post the date if/when you know.

I guess they can just shoot around all the old lamps and occasional tables.

That sounds great! Any idea when it will be up for consideration?
