New Management at American Heritage Gun Range

[ItBeMe]

Thank God I have my own range and can shoot 24/7 for free. The owner is a real prick but I have put up with him for years.

But I thought the main gist of this thread is that the ownership/management has changed.

New management and some new employees. May be worth checking out again. I didn't deal with any employees personally, but the interactions I observed between my folks and theirs looked very friendly. Whenever I walked past an employee they smiled and greeted me.

We policed up all our brass and took it with us, but I don't know if that's a deal we have worked out with them or not. You'd have to check.

I thought their firearms prices were high before the change in management. I haven't looked at the prices since then, I'll have to see what they're like after they restock.

I just walked out of there. Big "under new management" flags flying at the entrance. The shelves look like the bread aisle at Kroger after a snowstorm. Bare. Handgun cases are nearly empty, with most of the items still being overpriced. Most of the stuff in the cases belong in a pawnshop. Rifle racks were similarly empty. A shop with this much potential should have a good good selection of duty grade handguns and rifles.

They did have a GSSF shoot going on though. Hopefully, their historically high prices will come down out of the stratosphere. And they need to discount for shared lanes. I'll definitely give them another chance once they get some inventory in stock. They are so close to my house, that it kills me to have to go elsewhere.

Oh, I also overhead a neckbeard ponytailed employee retelling his war stories to two customers. Not actual war stories, but stories of all the different times he has drawn his weapon and pointed it at people to discourage whatever behavior he deemed a threat. Most of these tall tales were set right here in McDonough. I've lived here for 15 years. And have occasionally had to inspect properties in some pretty shady neighborhoods. Not once, have I ever come close to needing to draw my weapon, much less multiple times as this guy described.

That kind of crap drives me nuts.

Well if George and his dad left then they took it for all they could take. The two break ins really, really need to be fully investigated. George's Dad is con man thief and the police community in McDonough mostly know this.

If the range is honestly free from them, not allowing any profit to their benefit it will be a far better place and I hope the range does well.

As for the distributor, either he is in on the dealings of George and his Dad or simple ignorant as to character of their family. Either way, I would not be surprised in the next 12-24 months to hear a "firearms distributor" having a "break in" too.

Thieves have a high recidivism rate and George's dad is too old to change his nature.

Same here. I normally hate indoor ranges because of the persussion from the guy next to you but thats range is big enough it shouldnt be too bad. And its 5 mins feom the house. Beats driving all the way to charlie elliot for a quick shoot.

It seems like several of us live really close by. Maybe we should have an informal range day?

I usually shoot at my brothers house in Senoia but I might be interested in a range day as well. I also live just minutes away.

It's always nice to see how wrong you are about how you think a person looks judging by how they carry themselves on here.

That is usually pretty funny!

But but did he blade @ 45 degrees away from them when he pointed his gun? I don't think it's serious unless you blade away from the bad guy.
