Does anyone else out there find the typical "no loaded firearms behind the firing line" rule at most ranges annoying? I don't appreciate being stripped of my right to carry a loaded firearm anywhere, especially at a place where I KNOW other guns are present and being fired. Id much rather go find a nice quiet spot out in the wilderness and shoot there. And I usually do!
Yes, I know there are idiots out there, but why not state the rule as "No loaded longuns behind the firing line. Pistols behind the firing line must be secured in a case or properly holstered at all times."
Just a thought...
You should treat all firearms as if they were loaded. Its a gun way to keep from shooting yourself or someone else! To correct spelling --- Its a "Good" way!CharlieK:240152 said:The range signs that really irk me are these: ALL FIREARMS ARE LOADED, NO EXCEPTIONS. I got an indoor range and gun shop in Albuquerque to change their sign that said that when I pointed out that it means that I can't come into their shop with an unloaded gun. They meant, of course, that all guns are TO BE TREATED AS LOADED. But I pointed out that it does NOT say that. They changed it.

Not to start an argument, but in my opinion, the logic behind these rules is the same logic behind the anti-gun laws. They both assume gun owners are irresponsible and that guns kill. A range officer assumes I am stupid and cant have a loaded gun behind the line just like an anti-gun liberal thinks I shouldnt have a gun, or it should stay unloaded in my home.
