    Bad Oak Tree Gun Club experience

    I went to OTGC to ppt an ar pistol. When we got there they said they cannot PPT it because it didn't say pistol on the receiver. They agreed with me that neither I nor any legal obligation to bring in an old DROS to prove it was a pistol. There is no legal requirement for a lower to actually say pistol either. They then tried to insinuate that it was once a rifle and wanted to know the gunshop I got it from. Judging by my irritated tone they stopped asking me questions. Also there is nothing on website or posted anywhere in the shop stating this policy.

    I then called Martin B. Redding and they were nice enough to email me the DROS so that I didn't waste 3 hours of my time and $20-$25 in gas.


    In hindsight I probably should have called but I've never heard of this bull****. I have never been to OTGC and avoided them after the whole smart gun thing. This place was half way for both of us so I figured why not? Not only will I never give them a penny again, but I felt it was necessary for you to all know before you waste a Saturday afternoon and money.

    Thank you again to Martin B. Redding for emailing me my DROS so we didn't have to track down another FFL.

    Why do people still go to Oak Tree Gun Club? They sold us out.

      i dont like oak tree anyway. Prices are too high, rifle range sucks, and each range has its own fee.
      I live 10 minutes from oak tree and prefer to make the drive to angeles or APTS

        Should have asked them if you could buy one of those groovy smart guns. I'm sure they would have bent over backwards for you then.

              OakTree gun club.

              Didn't they try to sell out gun owners a while back?

                      TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
                      The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
                      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                      Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                      The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
                      The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                      The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                      Are full of passionate intensity.

                        I have been a full member since they first started selling annual membership. I think Oak Tree is a fine range, I like the facilities and have no issues with the management or how they run their business. I would like to ask those that posted negative comments if they own any S&W firearms. If so, it appears to me that they are being hypocritical with their outrage.

                        For those too young to remember, S&W sold out gun owners to the Clinton Administration in the mid 90’s, and was subsequently awarded a significant federal contract as a reward.

                          No S&W or Ruger firearms allowed in my house.

                            The difference with Oaktree vs S&W or Ruger is that for the latter two, the people that made those infamous decisions are no longer with the company. The mgmt at Oaktree is still the same.
