Robbing people at gun ranges!?!

[Nor*Cal]

Unfortunately, I'm sure these criminal ****bags observe people fully locking up their personal defense.

Don't give them so much credit. Reality is most likely the opposite. Most criminals are very stupid.

Platt and Maddox, the miami FBI shooters, got their guns by rolling up on people in the swamps shooting, and getting the drop on them. This is at informal shooting spots with no prohibitions against CCW.

A wise man once said be pleasant, be polite, but have a plan to kill every person you meet.

That is who I was thinking about when I made my 1st post. Guy I knew, his son in law got robbed of a new Glock on BLM land he was being watched from a distance they pounced when they saw him out of ammo and packing up to leave.

That's why one of the lessons my Dad taught me was that, when we were skeet shooting together on private land, I ALWAYS HAD TO BE READY TO FIRE, just in case it was necessary. If he was loading the thrower (or any other time he didn't have a gun in his hands), I had to have mine ready. He drummed that one into me. He told me you never know when someone is going to come up and want to cause problems. And, unfortunately, sometimes "problems" are attracted to the sound of gunfire.

Easy pickins'. Think my county has a grand total of 14 carry permits. Guns nice and legally locked in a case. happened at a range here in Watsonville about a year ago. One victim was shot in the leg by the armed criminal.

So how would it play out if firearm stolen at gun point at the range, or parking lot (all locked up and legal like)..( and lets toss in, county unjustly denied CCW of victim to defend him/her self ).

Weapon ends up at shooting of prominent Democrat.

How would media spin it...

as noted above I'm always most careful leaving any range.

make sure your not a followed back to your house...

in fact I always stop by my least favorite friends home and go in and hang out for a minute in case I am.

okay I'm just joking but if anyone wants to be my friend let me know.

Which is why I ALWAYS have a loaded mag or speed loader in my pocket for the gun that I'm shooting.

From now on this ^

Whenever I'm out and about with my guns to go shoot, I'm CCW'ing. I don't care about the range policies.

But if your gun is in your bag that you're carrying and the perp has a gun to your face, I don't see how having a loaded mag is going to do anything.

I'm with the poster that said carry inside and once inside empty and before you leave re-carry out.

If perp has gun in your face and you give him/her your bag as soon as they think they are clear, pull your piece and see how fast they drop or run.

My range allows ccw holders to walk in loaded. If they wouldn't I wouldn't go there.

Same here. Just no holster work. If you want to pull out and shoot your CCW then pull it out and shoot. Reload and holster when your done, just no practicing holster work.

All the SA in the world won't save you if your attacker is armed and you legally are not.

Bad guy wants a 1911? All they have to do is pick out the guy walking in with a "KIMBER" box, and rob him on the way out. Even in a state with shall issue CCW maybe one person in ten carries .

Principles I live by: never go to the range unarmed, never bring just my carry pistol to shoot, and always use a nondescript range bag with a plain box.

And I always have ammo left for at least my carry when I'm done with practice.

The only robbery I've seen at the gun ranges, is the range fees!

Every time I go out the prices have gone up again!

I don't go anywhere unarmed unless prohibited.

But the truth is if someone is already pointing a gun at you then you are already beat. At that point it's best to deescalate and give them what they want, and live to fight another day.
