Technically you broke there policy but unless they ask you to leave it means nothing except a slap on the wrist. The fact that they do not know what a 30.06 sign is says a lot about the knowledge level of there employees. We are pro CHL holders where I work. There is a sign on the door that says all weapons must be unloaded and actions locked back on the door, but it is not intended for CHL holders. All we ask is that you keep it on your hip and out of sight until you pull it off -downrange- to shoot on your lane. And considering you had all that planned out anyway I think you were totally in the right. Again though, I find it very unappealing that a range didn't know what a 30.06 sign was and did not support CHL holders. No Bueno.
Bottom line, I would vote with my $$, and never shoot at a place like CC.. Not even on a range visit out of town. I take one or more guns with me when I travel, even if not allowed to CC, I take one for the motel room, and or vehicle travel, and I always try and find a range to shoot at.
I’ll play visiting range games to a point. But from what I just read, CC would be one I’d walk away from without a second thought.
