In Village of Union Grove Plan Commission business Sept. 16, village resident Brett Buisse received approval to seek a permit by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to open a gun repair shop in the industrial park on Commerce Drive.
Buisse assured commissioners the shop will not sell firearms, after member Ann Kerkman questioned him about it.
“It will be mostly repair, the license that I will carry will cover all,” Buisse responded. “A little retail.”
Prior to the meeting, Buisse said his intent of opening the business is not to become a firearms dealer.
“There could be, but that is not what I went to school for,” Buisse said. “I went to school to be a gunsmith.”
Buisse hopes to open his business near the location of Rasmussen Industrial, an electric equipment business.
Village President Mike Aimone expressed concern about the possibility of discharging repaired firearms on the property.
“There will not be any discharging,” Buisse said, explaining that he will “go to nearby firing ranges (to test) them.”
