Yeah unloading in the lot is the best way to go about that in places you cannot pull your concealed carry off on your lane. Although, many being CHL holders themselves and knowing the large amount of "gun-buster" type signs we have to ignore to exercise our full rights to carry; it surprises me that they do not put up a specific sign for CHL holders with those instructions. As they will likely ignore the all guns must be unloaded and actions locked back being that it has no legal authority over a CHL holders licensed rights. I myself either try to follow all policies I am aware of or just not go to that place. Wouldn't suggest anyone pushes their luck carrying anyway.stroguy wrote: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.

Re: Tell me where I was in the wrong...
I work at a range here in Austin, Texas. You were in no wrong legally. 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.
