I find it a little irritating. The Exel schedule spreadsheet has nothing on the schedule. The website has Juvenile Probation on the RIFLE RANGE. Nobody answers the phone. I drive with this traffic for 40 minutes, get there, they are on BOTH ranges, have their guns on their hips in the parking lot (against range rules? Not for them I guess), and I have to turn the hell around and drive another half hour to get home, not to mention the loadout for the range etc it's a total utter waste of my very rare free time. Someone ought to at least answer the phone when this nonsense is going on.
I get that they need the range, but I also get that I pay to use the range, and my taxes pay them to use the range. They could at least follow the rules the rest of us mere civilians pay to follow. I conceal carry and I have to disarm when I arrive, I don't complain about it although with the recent assaults across PA at ranges I think it's idiotic. Statistically LEO commit misdemeanors and felonies at 6 times the rate of the concealed carry permit holder nationally, I think we permit holders are responsible enough. Wearing a badge isn't an excuse for ignoring the range rules, I respect the work they do but I was twice as upset about them walking around with loaded guns in the lot as I was about wasting 2 hours of my time and not being able to shoot. |
