On a saturday afternoon when the handgun range is packed, I really start to get nervous. Early Saturday morning isn't so bad as there's noboby but CHL students there and they're in the classroom at that time.jbirds1210 wrote:I have to agree with horrible experiences at the LC gun range. I used to shoot there several years ago when it was under a different owner and it was a much more pleasant place to visit. The people are rude, the prices are high, you need a four wheel drive vehicle to access the range and the firing line leaves you feeling like it would be safer to vacation in Beirut.

Buddy of mine who is a airline pilot and a federal flight deck officer (licensed to carry a gun in the cockpit) was telling me he had some real issues when he went to the "SSC" range in Friendswood.
My buddy is really easygoing and polite. Pays $9 to shoot, and asks as an aside "by the way is there a law enforcement discount?"
Range guy says yes, and asks to see ID.
Buddy hands him ID (confirms federal law enforcement officer, albeit very small jurisdiction)
Range guy proclames loudly "You aren't real law enforcement!" and THROWS the ID back at my buddy.
Buddy politely asks why not?
Range guy says the discount is only for local law enforcement. Takes $8 out of the register and throws in back at my buddy.
Buddy feeling a bit wise says "this is only eight, I gave you nine"
Range guy throws him the last dollar and cusses him.
My buddy ignores it and goes home.
I thought the whole thing was pretty shameful, in that as a federal flight deck officer, my buddy's on the front lines if another 911 type attack happens.

Your LEAST favorite shooting range?
Since we've got a thread about favorite ranges, I thought it might be entertaining/informative to hear about your least favorite ranges and why they are your least favorite ranges?
I welcome humorous stories, and please keep things civil.
I remember one time a the League City range a new group of shooters had just paid and were walking onto the line. The Range Officer didn't say much too them except that there would be a cease fire in about 5 minutes.
The shooters set their gear down on the pistol range benchs, got their targets and proceeded to walk right out onto the live range.
With people shooting and everything... Fortuantely the shooters were smart enough to stop when the people started to walk towards their line of fire. The Range Officer spent some time chewing them out, but really if they were new shooters somebody should have given them a little more guidance in the first place.
