Towards the end of this article it discuss a law that bands not only gun ranges but gun stores from a half mile of schools, parks, etc

Some interesting comments arguing both sides of the argument of gun store ranges being close to schools etc.

I'm not sure what I think

The best arguments are the facts.

The article is from Chicago where most guns are banned. There are virtually no gun shops in Chicago proper yet it has the highest rate of gun crime in the nation. There are dozens of murders every week in the summer.

I'd look for articles in states that actually have lots of guns and are gun friendly. Like Texas or Arizona. You won't find any articles because it is a non-issue in those states.
