Re: Conceal Carry when going to the Range?

It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission :cool:

Having said that, it's not illegal to carry concealed into/onto a gun range. The worst that could happen is that they ask you not to return, which might be a tipoff that they shouldn't get your business anyway.
+1...also, the sign that Bullet Trap has is not a 30.06 sign. Just like when entering a Cabela's/Bass Pro...same "firearms must be unloaded..." sign there too. I asked if this applied to Concealed Carry persons at Cabelas and they said no, CHL persons are permitted as long as it stays concealed. I think I got a similar response at BT, but I'd ask them first. That said, if you're carrying concealed CORRECTLY, how would they know?
Bullet Trap will allow you to unconceal at the line, shoot your CC weapon, then load and re-holster before leaving the line. Just no drawing from the holster.
Keith -- I've stated that before, too. However, that range changed hands a while back. I don't know whether the same rules apply anymore. Anybody asked them since the ownership change?
They haven't given me any grief about it, but I'm not sure they noticed, either.

Re: Conceal Carry when going to the Range?

Unless specified via a properly posted 30.06 sign, (assuming plastic in hand...still waiting...) I would not unholster my weapon and/or unload it prior to shooting. If the range personel have a problem with that, then it's time to explore other ranges- Plenty out there trying to stay in buisness. I want to shoot my CCW as much as I can and it is ridiculous for a CHL holder to have to do so.
