Expect trouble from BLM out near Barstow? (OLLs, BBs, Featureless, LCMs, AR pistol)

Know the laws inside and out, take copies of the relevent PC and case law with you and tell them to do their homework. In the mean time you'll be getting back to exercising your second amendment. He did take an oath to uphold and defend that right.

Just keep your camp well organized, keep all the garbage picked up. Stay 100% legal. If you think something is questionable, leave it out until you fully understand it's legality. Also, stay safe. If you have a bunch of people going, establish a firing line. Have someone be in charge (you know just officially announce seize fire when stopping to changing targets.... visually make sure the guns are cleared before going down range....etc).

I think BLM likes to watch from a ridge/distance first to see what you are all about. So if it looks like you guys are organized, safe & clean, they might just leave you alone.

+1. The easiest way to attract unwanted scrutiny is to behave like uncontrolled, undisciplined, unsafe, slob shooters.

The USGI mags are not legal in my understanding unless you have an AW exemption and you are active duty. They are for military use, not civilian use as explained to me by a very very Pro Gun CHP.

Never heard of such a rule. Sounds like FUD unless PC is cited.
Pro-gun folks can be just as guilty of it as antis.

This is why you never take legal advice from Law Enforcement. Next time you talk to him, ask him what PC USGI mags violate.

Totally Wrong.

LCMs (Large Capacity Magazines) are totally LEGAL to own and use.

They can be used in RAW (Registered Assault Weapon) as well as Featureless OLLs.

Sounds like your CHP pal is totally clueless about firearm laws.

Large cap's shouldn't be an issue if you're using them legally. (No fixed mag rifles that aren't RAW).

OLL's BB's, etc... Again. Be legal.

If a beligerent officer makes an appearance, be sure you and your friends take note of their name, number, other identifying factors. Get a map that shows the shooting areas if possible so that if they try to lie to you, you can tell them to bugger off.

I like the Sig line! Very good point.

This is why I NEVER ask a LEO for what is legal and what isn't.

To the OP:

Be safe and have fun out there.

If you do have an encounter with LEOs be polite, but know your relevant laws better than they do.

And remember most of all to STFU if some rookie cowboy type BLM officer is trying to jam you up.

Already noted this is incorrect, but please see http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=387409 for the explanation.

I'm actually planning to go out to that exact spot this coming sunday with a few other friends and attempt a 1 mile shot with my .308 probably will lose our little wager (hit on the 5th shot) but I think I can afford the cup of starbucks and it'll be fun anyways.

Let me know how that goes!

Quick final question...."No shooting within 150 yards of campsite". Is that an ESTABLISHED campsite, or does that mean I have to set up the firing line 150 yards away from the tent?
