There's a mediocre indoor range in Lyons. Take I-55 south to Harlem basically. If no traffic, doesn't take long at all. It's called "Midwest Guns". You have to pay a range fee, pay for ammo, and pay to rent a weapon. So it can be costly but just to go for an hour or two it's not too bad. You do need a valid FOID card though, that would be your first step. Costs $10 and you get it from Illinois State Police. Without it, you can't even enter the store/range technically.
I used to have a 9mm and a .40S&W (both Glocks) but I sold them. Now I only have my deer hunting shotgun.
