This place is awesome.
Where else can one go from, awe poor gun range closed up to OMG I hate that other place to the chick with shorty shorts to great mexican food all in one thread..
People go eat somewhere almost every day but shooting comes when time allows.
None of this seems to be reasonable. Owners still own it, manager is not a owner, closes store without consent, and transfers inventory to his self storage. I may be presuming but isn’t that theft?So, I'll try and scan the article tomorrow, but from what I gathered, the manager took it upon himself to close the store down without consent of the owners and proceeded to take all of the items to some personal storage space. Owners and ATF involved, ordered to return all items, everything returned by manager.
Please do, I would like to read that!So, I'll try and scan the article tomorrow, but from what I gathered, the manager took it upon himself to close the store down without consent of the owners and proceeded to take all of the items to some personal storage space.

Wow, what a mess. What a moron.
Explains a bit about why the Range at LKN was so eager to jump on the poor customers that where "screwed"
3 sides to every story.....

Yes I agree. It seems more facts are coming to light. First it was just DD is closing. I hadn't checked in on this thread in a few days, and now we have much more info on the subject.100% true. But the objective facts in this case aren't in his favor. And "insanely" so. Just changing the passwords/cords is already past being ridiculous. Removing the rental guns is criminal. Literally felonious. This is a full sprint past the line of insanity.
No its 3 sides.I believe it's "there's two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle is the truth"
Wow this is insane. Seriously what did he think was going to happen next? Like just take rental guns and everything is going to be ok?
Saddest part of all this is the Lake Norman location might be in peril now as well. This is weirder than anyone here could have ever imagined. Even with the value estimate that was not even remotely close how to handle it. Not my opinion, but legally. He may have given the DD owners a lifeline, though it would be a crushing blow for LKN.
Yeah, this article could just be DD trying to cover their own arse and telling only their side to the story. However, it sure does raise some questions regardless of what was claimed by Sisson.I believe it's "there's two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle is the truth"
and nobody wins except the lawyersI've seen business deals go sour before, and one side decides to take its toys and go home to teach the other side a lesson. In those cases, there is usually fault on both sides, but not always.
I bet it was their lack of getting customers to fill out a bill of sale on those parking lot dealsI’m surprised to read that they didn’t close because of a deal done in the parking lot, or that customers went somewhere else over $30.... I was led to believe that this is the real reason gun stores close
They were not getting dat gubmint transfer fee graaaaaavy yo!I bet it was their lack of getting customers to fill out a bill of sale on those parking lot deals

Going out on a limb, well more of a branch. DD and both the LKN and Ballantyne Range will cease to exist within 12 months. Too much foolishness going on that the ATF won’t tolerate.
If you wait about two years you will get one of the ranges for half or less than what was invested from the bank sale. Then the overhead will be manageable.Anyone want to go in on a CFF range?
I'll put money on DD not being here. However, I believe all the ATF claims/statements/issues against LKN and Ballantyne are being manufactured by Watson. This dude is going to go down in flames blaming everyone but himself. I think he believes he found a scapegoat to cover his arse and he is not going to let it go.Going out on a limb, well more of a branch.
