Outdoor Shooting Range Locations

[ERivera]

Due to the fire affecting the Los Angeles Shooting Range, my plan to go shooting this Sunday may be a little harder to follow through with. I am currently seeking suggestions for firing ranges of a similar nature (Past 100 yard steel targets and allowing 556 ammo and up).

Ideally I would like a range that is not more than 1.5 hours away from orange county and is an outdoor shooting range that doesn't have an expensive membership fee. Please let me know of any ranges and their location. Thanks

Lytle creek $16 plus target. Up to 300 yards. Go early.
Burro canyon $unsure
Great place
Check with range staff regarding your own steel.

Lytle creek looks amazing and I was unsure of Burro Canyon beforehand as well.
My AR currently does not have the fin attachment, would that not be allowed at Lytle creek?

Just visited Lytle Creek on Monday and it was amazing. Super friendly staff I would highly recommend it

If it is still in the 2017 Bullet button configuration you may take it and use it at Lytle without an issue. Be nice to the staff, respect the range rules and cease fires, enjoy and put a lot of shots down range!

I strongly suggest you call Lytle Creek and ask them directly any questions you may have regarding their policies. Write down the name of the person you speak with.

I wrote off LC back in '13 when they refused to allow me to use standard capacity magazines in my RAWs, but since no mags exceeding ten rounds are legal anywhere in CA now, it's a moot point.

Now I just have to weigh the risk of being surrounded by people who potentially have no concept of muzzle discipline.

It may be worth it to use a vacation day and go mid week instead of fighting the unwashed hordes on the weekend.

LC used to be my favorite range. I had a lot of fun and sent a lot of lead downrange there, but when I started shooting on BLM land I virtually stopped going to Lytle.

BLM land is just too far now to be practical anymore, and something I only do once or twice a year and make a weekend out of it.

I may go back to LC, but it'll have to be on a Wednesday. As I recall, weekends were way busy back when I went regularly, I imagine that nowdays it's much more crowded.

I actually went to an indoor range yesterday just to plink for an hour or two. I don't even bother to take my EBR's out anymore (except to BLM), I go Old School instead!

Trick is to get to LC at 10am, that way I have already reserved my spot and settled in before you get there.

HA!

I was and still am an "opening to closing" shooter.

. . . but since no mags exceeding ten rounds are legal anywhere in CA now, it's a moot point.

I believe that's not the case due to the Duncan v. Becerra litigation. An injunction issued this past summer, so at least for now, they're legal if you owned them before 1/1/2000. If my info is outdated, I'm sure someone will correct me (nicely, please!).

I'll freely admit that I honestly don't know which laws have been enacted vs which have been delayed vs which have been modified.

Who has the time to research and stay updated with which hoops we have to jump through, or how high we have to jump when mandated to do so?

Last I was aware, no "high cap" mags after July 2017.

Either register or go featureless by Jan 1, 2018.

Featureless means no pistol grip (wrap/fin works), no collapsible stock (pinned ok), no VFG (AFG/hand stop ok), no flash hider/ A2 birdcage (muzzle brake ok). Featureless also means BB can go away.

Did I miss anything? Am I wrong (anyone?)?

If I am wrong, very very likely, please set me straight.

If this post qualifies as a thread hijack, and belongs in some 2A or legal section, sorry. Move or delete it.

Thanks.

Attorneys for the California Rifle & Pistol Association, supported by the National Rifle Association, obtained an important injunction in the case of Duncan v. Becerra, a federal lawsuit challenging California’s restrictions against standard capacity magazines. The injunction prevents California from enforcing the recently enacted ban against the mere possession of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds, while the case is pending. The ban was set to take effect on July 1—less than 2 days from today.

In granting the injunction, Judge Benitez explained that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in this lawsuit because “public safety interest may not eviscerate the Second Amendment.”

Filed in May of this year, Duncan is the second in a series of carefully planned lawsuits challenging the package of gun control laws passed last year that have collectively become known as “gunmageddon” in addition to the anti-gun Proposition 63. The case challenges California’s restrictions on standard capacity magazines on the grounds that it violates the Second Amendment, due process clause, and takings clause of the United States Constitution.

As a result of the injunction, California gun owners will not be required to surrender or permanently alter their lawfully owned property by July 1. Instead, the injunction preserves the “status quo” while the constitutionality of the law is decided by the court.

Thank you OCEquestrian.

So the mag capacity law is being challenged on grounds that it violates the intention of the 2nd.

Until the constitutionality of the law is accepted, we are still free to own and use our legally owned mags.

That being the case, I guess no Lytle Creek for me as they don't recognize that I have a right to use my personal property within the limits of California's laws.
