Transport to the range

Featured Replies

I read the other thread, but I seem to recall there being some specific law that ammo has to be completely separated from the firearm while in transit.  Simply being unloaded isn't enough.  Is this correct? Do I have to keep the ammo in the cab while the handgun is unloaded in the trunk?  Or can I keep them together in the same case like I do at home or in a free state?

separate pockets of your range bag is sufficient

Unloaded.    Where you keep your ammo is up to you, as long as it's not in the firearm.   Special care should be taken with hollow points as in, they should be treated the same way you treat handguns.  Always within the exemptions.

 

The other stuff can legally roll around in the floorboards.

Just keep it out of the firearm - I don't want to get into the pissing match on whether you can have mags loaded or not - some do, and some don't - I only take a range back, keep the mags out of my pistols, and put ammo in a pocket of the bag - I take one bag to and from the range and that's it

There was a huge pissing match about mags being loaded to and from the range and some of the fear scholars who shake in their boots to step outside their front porch with a bag with a gun in it were saying its probably illegal because if the magazine is loaded but its out of the pistol you are taking to the range a cop would assume its a loaded firearm - google search it was something in the title about loaded mags

I picked up a 4 pack of pad locks from Lowes that all use the same key.  It's overkill, but I like to lock my guns and ammo can.

Feel free to do that, but know that it's not required by law.

Okay, so no rounds in the firearm is all that's needed.  Hell, I may not even bring ammo.  The range I go to might force me to buy their own crap when I get there anyway.  W/e

Some ranges force you to buy their ammo or you won't be allowed to shoot.

 

ShoreShot allows you to bring your own ammo as long as it's brass casings.The fomer Brick Armory did too. Which ones do you know of just curious......

At GFH, you must buy their ammo only if you rent their firearm.

This is also the policy at RTSP - curious what range doesnt allow you to bring your own ammo if you AREN'T renting -

They are pretty lenient about steel and aluminum, as long as it's not busy and you're willing to pick it up.

Have to use their ammo in rental guns.

OP just curious which ranges requires you to use their ammo if you are bringing your own guns?

Sounds like Hagues in West Deptford, NJ! (Indoor range) You have to buy their overpriced ammo if you are not a member and they keep all brass.

 

Great place to buy Sig guns as they are one of the lowest priced dealers. (Just got a Sig P938BRG with night sights for $599) Range is a rip off though!
