Just one criticism about Angeles Range.

Bring a little cable lock and lock your case/bag to the table outside? When I used to ride, I always used to lock my jacket and helmet to the bike with a long cable lock to deter the opportunistic thieves.

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.

I hear you it infuriates me when people don't read an entire post and overlook something germain to the question at hand

Or just do like thousands of other people before you and leave them on the table outside.

Tens of thousands.
Has there ever been a reported or claimed theft?
Remember: An armed society is a polite society.

This.

Whenever I go there alone, I ask an RO if they can keep an eye on my gear while I run inside. They've always obliged.

It always makes me nervous to leave stuff on that table outside the office, but I've never had a problem with it in the 12-odd years I've been going there. Still bugs me though, every time.

[SPUTTER]

Actually I set my guns on the bench where I'm gonna shoot and go pay. Maybe Im too trustworthy but nothing has ever happened.

[perpetual otter]

It's bad form to leave a firearm unattended....

[jonni]

yeah I get pretty nervous about leaving my rifles out there, especially when im alone

:/

[ArinX]

If im alone il leave the guns in the car, but usually have a buddy with me and have him keep watch.

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

Its for the Children!!!!

Interesting, of all the places I'd feel uneasy leaving a firearm, at a gun range is definitely not one of them. Maybe it's just where I'm from, but any range there, I feel completely secure leaving my guns out in the open and I'm 100% positive that they will be there when I get back. That said, I didn't grow up in LA and I don't know the type of people that hang around ranges over there.

To the OP: I would see if you can find an employee and ask them to watch your stuff. I'm sure they would be more than happy to.

It only takes one time. It always annoys me to have to do that, as well. Many times there are lines there and someone would just have to stroll by, pretend like its his, and calmly walk away with it.

No way in hell I'm risking that. It's easier with a car, less so with a bike.

[Sajedene]

I call it the honor system.

Besides the security cams they have around, I would trust other shooters to respect my property.

Just like when I go snowboarding and trust that no one jacks my snowboard when I prop it up outside while I go grab a bite to eat or use the lil' girls room.

You would have to be a maniac to try and steal someone's gun at Angeles. I would (and do) just leave my pack outside.
