Dress Code at Public Gun Range?

[njineermike]

its no fun if you ruin the surprise.

Lol. Plenty won't get far enough to see the spoiler and will find out the hard way.

I think we have enough rules...

Not nearly enough rules...you forgot you're in California.

So?

See what I mean.

You need to hang a round a little more. This guy has a long standing habit of pontificating on on the minutea what others should and shouldn't do, and how they comport themselves. He starts threads like this then they devolve into him lecturing everyonoe on how they should adhere to his standard. He doesn't want your opinion, he wants to talk condescendingly to as many people as possible.

Didn't beat that around the bush didja'

Eyes, Ears, At least a Tshirt, and closed-toed footwear.

Which is precisely why this thread looks like this to me:




Him and Bigger Hammer are the only two that I've ever had on the ignore list. For a long time I prided myself on not having anyone on ignore, but I finally decided I was getting too old for that crap.

If you own the range have it your way with as many rules as you like. If you are a guest at a range mind your own business. I mean this in all aspects. it is none of your business if your gun is better than mine or my bullets make you uncomfortable or I shoot a magnum without ear protection. Just plain and simple none of your business. I re-qualified recently on an outdoor range with four firing stations I was placed in number two position. To my right was a lady with a low cut blouse and push up bra. We fired seven rounds and number six and seven found their way down her blouse and apparently were hot judging the way she jumped around and then she looked at me and said why didn't you tell me that gun throws brass? Nobody will have to tell her how to dress next time she had a learning experience.

I only shoot at public ranges to qualify or compete as Ron White says you can not fix stupid.

If you are not the range officer my safety is none of your business. Try minding your own business is my rule of thumb.

You didn't offer to get the brass out for her?

[mdib870]

shirt pants and close toes shoes no one wants hot brass in your shoes

Ban idiots that worry about what others are shooting and wearing.

Well for the ladies at least, a pair of Daisy Dukes and an itty bitty bare-midriff tank top would be fine. For the guys, none of that bare belly crap from the 1980s and just make sure the 1970s dont call and ask for their shorts back.

Oh yah, eyes and ears = mandatory.

When it comes to other people at public ranges my simple rule is just don't wear anything you wouldn't want people seeing you in. I'm not the safety or fashion police so if you wanna play stupid games that's fine by me, I'll have a front row seat to a Darwin Awards ceremony.

When it comes to my personal wear, there's a little stricter standard. I always wear ear/eye pro as well as a hat for sun/rain/wind protection. As far as non-safety related clothing, I usually dress for the type of shooting I plan to be doing that day.

If I plan to work on handgun skills I'm always going to wear my holster. I don't go to ranges that don't allow drawing from the holster (North of Sac there are plenty of publicly owned outdoor ranges that allow this) I typically wear either cargo pants or jeans and tucked-in polo or T-shirt. Closed toed shoes are a must. Better still, something with a heavy sole since people like to take glass and other sharp stuff out to the range and shoot it like idiots. Carbine shooting is usually the same attire. If I'm out to just bench shoot, I'm not really worried about my dress accept for safety and just common public decency.

If I want to work on drawing and shooting from concealment, I usually plan ahead and go to the LE range.

The only thing I do dislike seeing is people wearing is offensive or blatantly criminal or gang related clothing at ranges. Certainly doesn't make me feel safe, and if I don't feel safe, I'm not going to able to have a good time.

Ive never been to a range where someone has their shirt off. So I'm voting for shirt just in case this thread starts some sort of trend and some of you decide it's OK to show off your chest hair at the range.

From this I can say something definitive about you: You've never been to the Spenceville Range in Yuba County. I feel like there is an unwritten rule that at least one creepy shirtless guy has be present at all times.

It can be the dead of winter, raining and you can be the only one there and then all of a sudden a lifted pickup or beat up Astro Van will roll in and out comes Creeper McShirtless.

Yet another reason to hate CA, let people dress anyway they want. Unless it effects me its not my business . they don't to wear ears, fine let them go deaf etc etc etc. Now if the owner of a private range want to inact certain rules then so be it.
