CalGuns Range

[TheCilician]

It would be great.

3 CalGuns ranges: 1 for NorCal, 1 for Central, 1 for SoCal....

The ranges would be staffed by College-Calgunners earning minimum wage...(summer Job hehe) the rest volunteers.

They would serve as a members retreat/headquarters for each region, as well as open to the pubic for extra revenue that would serve for the staffing and merchandise.

Members already have been cleaning BLM land, what better than to volunteer cleanups in our own backyard. Lots of complications, but I'm sure we can find a way.

We are after all, a Foundation for Freedom (FFF!)

Awaiting criticisms (Good and Bad)

It would be awesome! Can I request a 1200 yard steel plate?

This would be great!

Good idea, but rather have the funds spent on working on Gun Rights.

Totally agreed. I'm not worried about our ranges, I am worried about our gun rights.

[CAL.BAR]

While I agree that the money will be best used in fighting for 2A - remember all it takes to kill shooting as a sport (and thus any opportunity to exercise our rights) is to remove all legal shooting areas. Here in OC/LA/Riverside we have a dwindling handful of ranges for literally MILLIONS of people and thousands of shooters. As land gets more expensive, owning/operating a range gets more expensive, the choices will continue to dwindle.

It's not an entirely unreasonable thought that we won't have anywhere reasonably accessible to shoot in 20 years or so. (just ask any range operator what a pain in the *ss it is to operate a range and you will see the problem.)

[gdun]

the funds would be spent on building a range, and the purpose of the range would be a place for calgunners to go, but also a place for new shooters to go.

[GoodEyeSniper]

As long as they have a stronghold or two located on the premises, preferrably some underground bunkers. And the ability to quickly place anti-zombie defensive barriers.

[Turbinator]

Good idea. How do we get started?

I thought that when a whole bunch of us go out for a BLM shoot, that was our range. For those couple of hours, or at least until a twitchy cop tells the group that you need to move.

[M47_Dragon]

If this were to ever happen, I think out of respect, the SoCal range should be very close (geographically speaking) to Kestryll. It's only fair.

It would be awesome! Can I request a 1200 yard steel plate?

1000, 1200 and 1500 yard plates please!

[Desert_Rat]

IF it were to go down. A portion of the profit (after expenses of course) could/should go to CGF. It could be a good thing,But it will most likley be a tax nightmare. Could it be ran as a non profit-not for profit thing?

[chris]

this would be great idea.

I'd love to see this happen, but fear it would be quite the distraction for this organization. Unless someone besides the "right people" takes the bull by the horns....

Ft. Ord still has lots of land, I'm sure a range could be set up there (or an old one resurrected) if the local officials had their heads extracted from you-know-where.
