No doubt it has changed. I remember the old Kroger, the Ben Franklin Store, the Plano Drive Inn k and many other Plano landmarks from over 30 years ago as well but generally I feel pretty safe here-my Dad still lives in East Plano (Los Rios).

The Bullet Trap is always busy however, even the middle of a work week/day. It is a good option coming from Allen and not real familiar with the area. I used Red River Firearms LLC in Sherman-that is a bit out of the way from Allen-45 miles but nice people there.

If you see an old man shooting there who looks like a homeless person there, that will be me. And be prepared for the staff to be surly, rude and to talk down to you. We loyal regular patrons wouldn't have it any other way.

How funny you say this.... I grew up in Plano on Blossom trail (Park and Shilo) from 73 until 89. The area you are talking about used to have a bowling alley??? I used to ride my bike up the the bowling alley with a buddy to play video games. We would always stop at a gas station down the road and buy smokes, get a whataburger across the street and play games all night.

I used to work at a Kroger (my first job) at Ave K and Parker.

Sorry, just a short stroll down memory lane.....

I grew up here too, and still work in East Plano, it has changed but it isn't that bad-really, it is fine
