    Just one criticism about Angeles Range.

    They dont allow guns into the Range office. That's fine, but every single time I go there, I really feel uneasy about leaving my guns in front of the office unattended. I realize you can just leave them in your car while you register, or if youre with friends, have them stay outside to keep an eye on em. Unfortunately for me, I like to visit alone, and I ride there on my motorcycle. I really wish they had a holding station in the store. How would you guys deal with this if you were in my situation? Ask for an exception?

    If I were in your place I would grab a range officer and have him look after you stuff while you pay.

      Leave them in your vehicle until signed in and then pull your car up opposite bench you will be using. Ask someone nearby to watch if paranoid. No one has ever to my knowledge bothered them in the 30 years I have been going there,

            You could also arrive slightly before a ceasefire, place your firearms on a bench and hang out until ceasefire. Once ceasefire is called, go pay. Make sure your paperwork is done so you're finished before the ceasefire is over.

            Nobody will touch your guns during ceasefire under penalty of RO!

              Is it a pistol, Are you just keeping it in your backpack while ridding?

              Personally, i would keep it locked in my back pack when i went in there and not say a damn thing.

                Thats a great idea, but the sign says "No guns on green benches".. Im assuming the sign means that you cant store your firearms on the benches while you go in and pay.

                I'll see if an RO can watch my bag when I go in.

                  I usually have 2 pistols, a bunch of ammo, and my brasscatcher. Its pretty loaded. Im pretty sure I scream "Ive got a gun on me!!"

                    They have security cameras. If someone snags your gat while registering, then they'll have it on tape.

                      but you still have to go through the trouble to try to recover it...

                        Not saying this is the right thing to do, but I walk into the office with pistols in my backpack all the time. I always leave the long guns outside though.

                          BTW, that's the most retarded policy especially since it's a range.

                            Thank you. It's amazing how many people are too lazy read the OP, before answering. Must be alot of that A.D.D. going around, or something.

                            The RO's at Angeles rifle range usually hang out at the end of the covered shooting area nearest to the office while the range is hot. On the pistol / .22 range, they also hang out under the covered part of the range nearest the office. I'm sure they won't mind if you left your guns with them, while you go in the office to sign in.

                            Life can make you do many things, even kiss a man with a runny nose.

                              Let's all write a letter to Angeles...or bring a picket sign saying, "NO GUNS LEFT BEHIND!!!"
