I recently joined a new range along with a friend.
This range is off the beaten path and very small.
You are given the code to the padlock to enter and exit the range.
The membership cost is $30.00 a year.
There is usually nobody there and we shoot alone, pack up and leave.
This morning we arrive and there are 3 guys using the pistol range and have a couple of IPSC stages setup.
We had a little small talk and went on our way to the rifle range since we didn't bring any pistols.
The 3 guys pack up after a while and leave.
Late in the afternoon a guy on a motorcycle stops by and calls us over to the gate which is visible from the rifle benches.
We go to the gate and the guy wants some info on the range.
We answer all his questions and even tell him where to go get his membership card.
He seems a bit off and makes several failed attempts to get the code for the gate from us.
After about 30 minutes he leaves.
My friend and I both agree that the guy seemed a bit off and that it wouldn't take much for somebody to shoot us both and drive off with several high priced rifles and/or vehicles.
We said that from now on we will both carry while shooting at the range.
Do any of you feel the same way?
