I am going to have to throw in the 'ok that's enough about the unloaded policy at CC and if you don't like it move on.'

CC policy is to have the weapon you want to shoot at the range unloaded, breaches and bolts open before entering the store so they can be checked in at the counter in a safe manner for you, employees and customers. I respect that fully. There are no CHL restrictions such as an 30.06 sign, so carry away, I do. But if you want to shoot your carry that day unload it in the lot. When I go to CC to shoot out of convenience I can carry upwards of 5 pistols. Guess who carries those in pistols in for me? My boys. Imagine the discomfort of everyone if my 14 year old was whipping out my 1911 to clear the barrel and let loose the magazine there in the store? Gander Mountain in Spring operates the same way.

As far as charging per gun/per shooter I have a hard time with, but CC is a stone throw away so sometimes it works for my convenience.

The tag thing is a royal pain in the rear. But at the Spring location if they didn't have the tag, you could walk weapons around the building to the range. The tag is a means of checks for the range officers to make sure each weapon was checked in. But I can't imagine a line of people clearing their weapons at the check in. Someone would be coming out with an ankle wound one day.

There policy is to have your weapon unloaded if you are going to shoot it. It states it on the sign that you should have bolts and breaches open. I CC while shooting but I bring in my weapons unloaded. There is no problem with having your weapon unloaded prior to entering in my opinion. They put the tag on the trigger guard of the weapon(s) you are going to shoot. Can you imagine the odds of having a weapon go off if everybody walked in with the weapon loaded and went to unload it at the check in station? I think their policy is fair. Like I said, I CC my.380 and shoot something else. I CC my 1911 if I want to shoot my LCP. You did no wrong other than miss the meaning of the sign out front.
