Bringing ammo into shooting range

[ct126x]

How do you guys bring your ammo into a shooting range? Just bought my gun and want to fire off a few hundred rounds tomorrow I don't have an ammo can or anything like that yet. Also, do i need to have a visible lock on the gun case? In my case, the oem glock case it comes with. Or can I just walk in with it. If it matters, I'm going to Jackson Arms.

There are a million ways to transport your ammo. Ammo cans are the easiest for me since I reload my own ammo. I do have a few shipping boxes that hold 200 or so rounds of .223 and 400 or so rounds of 9mm. I will put them in a box for short range trips and then but them in a back pack along with my Pistol that is locked.

before i got a range bag, i had my sig p226 unloaded, no mag inside, not cable locked and stored in the factory case, i would put the case in my backpack with a few boxes of store bought ammo. The range I go to doesnt really care if its locked, main thing is that its unloaded

I use a backpack or a shoulder bag. You can lock it by using a small lock in the zippers. It is very incognito.

the boxes the ammo comes in works well.. as do backpacks/small duffel bags...

for a long gun..
in short
unloaded and basicly dont point it at people as you drive down the road.. keep it out of sight.. its a long gun so conceled carry rules do not apply..


for a handgun
in short:
unloaded.. ammo can be next to it, mags can be loaded but not in the handgun..
in short.. lock it in the trunk.. if you dont have a trunk put a lock on the case/zippers.. a trigger/cable lock is not needed nor is it enough on its own..

even shorter
unloaded and a lock that keeps others from seeing that its a handgun

my answer is not the end all be all of answers.. but its got the basics..
