Parents in Madison are up in arms about Rocket City Armory, a locally-owned armory set to open just yards away from Midtown Elementary and Pre-School Primrose School of Madison.

“I just thought it was in extremely poor taste to put it that close to a school -- an elementary school and a daycare,” said Ashley Singleton, a third parent with concerns about the armory.
