Update

A few weeks ago, I wrote about a gun shop facing obstacles with the Southfield, Michigan city council. Here is an update. I'll skip the mindless "guns suck" comments featured in the article.

In a move that angered some in the community, the Southfield City Council on Monday gave Action Impact Firearms and Training Center the go-ahead to open on Eight Mile.

The council voted 4-3 to grant the facility special use to operate as a nonindustrial business in an industrial area after more than two hours of discussion. The planning commission gave its approval in May.

William Kucyk wants to use the former 9,900-square-foot Studio of Creative Design building at 25992 Eight Mile for gun sales and a shooting range. The facility will include 14 shooting range stalls, a retail area, 35-person classroom and office space on the .57 acre property.
