    Any range still open in the SF Bay Area?

    I'm unsure if this is the correct forum, but the title says it: is there any range left open that we can visit to practice shooting?

    I used to go to Reed's (Santa Clara), but that seems to be no longer an option.

          The Bay Area democrats have closed almost all of them down.

            Guns fishing and other stuff in Dublin (indoor), Livermore range is outdoors with pistol, rifle, trap. I thought the shotgun range was open at USI?

              Is there any public space (e.g. park/forest) where it is still legal to practice shooting in the SF Bay Area?

              I wouldn't mind driving a bit (say, less than 100 miles roundtrip).

              This whole mess only makes me want to move to a free State (like Texas).

                If any are open, the updated shelter order is closing them down. Specifically prohibits public shooting ranges among other recreational facilities.
                Unless challenged in court, etc etc.

                  No one really from Oakland calls it "International"

                    In no particular order:

                    San Leandro Rifle and Pistol Club is closed.
                    Los Altos Rod and Gun has cancelled all events and is closed to the public
                    Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Clubs have canceled all events and is closed to the public
                    Livermore Rod and Gun is closed
                    Field Sports Park (Metcalf) in San Jose is closed
                    Reeds in Santa Clara is closed
                    Guns Fishing and Other Stuff in Dublin is closed

                    The closest BLM Land where shooting is allowed is Panoche Hills, however shooting there right now is questionable. They have a notice posted on their site stating that all developed areas are closed, and I've seen a bunch of posts on 4x4 forums indicating that the roads are gated and locked.
