Assault Rifles Reported at Spenceville Range

[omega]

for people who think they dont enforce the Ca Assault weapons ban, take a look at what happened at the Spenceville Range recently.

Sportshooters at the Spenceville Firing Range reported two people were shooting AK-47s, one with a 100-round magazine, on Aug. 8, officials said.

No one took ownership of the weapons when Yuba County deputies arrived on Waldo Road, officials said, but witnesses identified two suspects, one of whom is a convicted felon barred from possessing firearms.

Anthony Plascencia of New Jersey and Omar Ramirez of Sacramento were booked into Yuba County Jail on $25,000 bail and posted bail by the next day.

Charges have not yet been filed, although District Attorney Patrick McGrath has the report and is reviewing the file.

Silly rabbits. It's against the law for criminals to own guns.

[Mirac]

Poor Spenceville, another to put on the bad rep list...

[The War Wagon]

Anthony Plascencia of New Jersey and Omar Ramirez of... "Sacramento"...

"Criminal Mastermind"


NOW you know why the phrase is an oxymoron...

Nothing wrong here, a felon in possession of a firearm, throw the f-in book at him. You want to reduce crime go after real criminals.

Apparently someone at the range called LE to check out the evil rifle they saw someone shooting. Nobody knew it was a felon in possession until after the LEOs arrived.

If it was another gunner shame on him for helping the state enforce stupid gun laws. If it was Spencerville Firing Range, I would never return. Would they call LE over my legally owned large capacity magazines the next time?

[Sharp Shooter]

The newspaper got it wrong. Assault rifles are not illegal. Assault weapons are illegal unless you have a permit. A felon in possession of a firearm is a completely different matter.

Unfortunately this is the type of crowd Spenceville draws.

so you're advocating the breaking of the law? play the game by the rules, don't like it, leave.

This..............we're our own worst enemy. Who in the hell would assume what could have been a legal gun is illegal at a gun range? Was it a calgunner who is throwing the 2A under the bus?

[Kowan]

Was it a calgunner who is throwing the 2A under the bus?

I doubt it. Could have been a anti there with a friend. Or a liberal who thinks no one needs an evil black rifle because they don't own one or understand ownership is not based on their beliefs.

As it worked out, nobody threw anything under the bus, though. Someone assumed correctly. Doubly so, because these were felons.

I carry AW paperwork on those occasions when I am shooting my AWs. I would hope someone would just ask me, but I have run into mynah birds who just say over and over "that's illegal", mostly with standard capacity magazines.

I see both sides of this. I don't think I'd call the cops.

[JohnCCW]

I wouldn't use that range again.
Not their job to enforce AW regs.
I don't carry my "papers" with me when I go to ranges.

[SkyHawk]

so you're advocating the breaking of the law? play the game by the rules, don't like it, leave.

Read my lips: AK47 with 100 round mag is NOT against the law in CA, if you have a registered AW and preban mags. No bullet button, 100rd magazine - legal. Those ARE the rules - you don't like it, leave.

[Epaphroditus]

Depends on how they were acting. Acting like thugs then dimes would drop. Otherwise Spenceville can be fun of horrific depending on the crowd.

[jaymz]

Maybe they were acting like gangbanger thugs, and someone called. Why is it everyone is assuming that cops were called because of the type of firearm they had?
