Range Ettiquette
- Thread starter MRYANJ99
- Start date
At our range: Associated Gun Clubs of Marriottsville, located in Baltimore County, Maryland --- has a range rule --- that all kids 14 & under, shall be supervised at all times on the gun range. Some kids are fascinated with guns...so much that they can approach a gun during a cease fire --- rack the bolt --- thusly putting a live round into the chamber and firing off a round during a cease fire.
Proper range etiquette and the rules specify that after a cease fire is called on the firing line: all firearms shall be unloaded --- actions open, magazines removed, muzzles pointed downrange {unless muzzles pointed upwards vertically on a gun rack}; with ECI's {empty chamber indicators} inserted into the chamber of the gun. On muzzleloaders: muzzles shall be pointed vertical during a ceasefire; with the subsequent command by the RSO's during the ceasefire, when the line is called safe: No Handling of Firearms During a Ceasefire

I don't do ranges. You never know what kind of person is armed along side you. Find a friend with a farm or some land and go to town.

I live in a small town with going on 6mm people. What is this "friend with a farm" you are referring to?

It's that easy, I promise you. I'm from one of the smallest towns in a very small state, and there is many farms and fields out here. It should go without saying its not possible for everyone, but I was just giving my two cents. Thanks for paying me so much attention though.
