Lytle Creek Range

[daves100]

Was at Lytle Creek Range today unloaded the guns and had them on the bench getting set up. when the range guy did his walk by and stopped and was checking out my AR ( pre ban ) no bullet button forgot the 30 round mags at home, just had one 10 rounder.

So i know what is coming next i walk over and hand him my paper work showing that i registered the rifle. He says to me glad you have the paper work, I mention to him yeah i left the 30 rounder's at home. then he tells me good thing as it might be a gray area on when i bought them.

Just to have fun i asked him if AR pistols are legal, he called over on the radio to ask another guy if they were legal. samething that's a gray Area.

They should at least know the Laws..

There is no legal requirement to carry any paperwork as proof that a registered assault rifle is indeed registered.

not sure about legalities of needing papers, but it sure as heck beats having to get it back from the cops when they take it.

agree! just make a copy of your paperwork and put it in your AR case. It will save you a lot of trouble...after this is Kalifornia.

daves100,

Regardless of the issues at the range are concerned you just had to be able to cover yourself just in case. I'll bet Lytle Creek is patroled by the police all the time and so they just don't want to get themselves involved in anything.

I'd continue to keep a copy of the regristered rifle in the case ......just in case cuz ther's no reason why you can't enjoy your rifle if you obeyed the law. If anything bad happens the paperwork keeps you in the black.

I figure this.... If everyones selling AR's with the BB installed then why hasn't anyone been closed down or arrested????? In your case the paperwork is your insurance policy. Now I don't know anything about AR type of pistols as I'm a rifle dude more.

For myself I can live with the BB until things get better and I'll hold my breath on that issue.

I've never been to a range that actively checked to see if your firearms were legal.

I've only been to Lytle Creek once, and reading this, I definitely wouldn't go there now.

I can understand enforcing laws in cases were someone obviously has something illegal (i.e. full auto). But to go around and questioning anyone with a registered AW or anyone with a magazine with capacity over 10 rounds?

My range cart has eight 20-rounders because that's what I use for High Power matches. I can't imagine going to the range to practice and having some range employee coming by and giving me the third degree about my AR or my magazines.

I'm not going to make copies of my registration confirmation letter from the DoJ to keep with my rifles. Not to mention the fact that the letter you receive confirming your registration can easily be forged anyway. Also, the letter only has your name and address (and serials) at the time of registration. How many of you have changed residences since 2000-2001?

Does the Lytle Creek range have some kind of deal with local LEO about enforcing laws?
