Shortened barrel, range threttened to call cops and was told to leave

[mikeb32]

it may be the Range's SOP

Good Point! If Private Facility, They have the right to have "Range Specific Rules"........Maybe not good for Business, But its their Right!

The OP doesn't want to out the range, but I will gladly I've had similar experiences at Firearms Exchange. Their SOP is to see that you have the forms for any NFA item. somethingsomething people making illegal guns somethingsomething liability something something posted on the door of the range. Some of their RSOs sit outside the viewing window and watch their phones instead of the shooters.
To be fair, the one time I was in there with an NFA item, the guy didn't actually want to look at the forms, he just wanted to ask if I had them and assess my response. After I said "why do you need to see my tax records?" he pointed at the sign on the range door and said "it's our policy". I pulled back the padding of my case to where I had some copies at and he said "okay, you're good" before i could even take them out. He went on to say that people with shorties had injured themselves, and one way to keep people safe was by demanding that all NFA items show proof of registration because people who go through the trouble of doing things the right way aren't usually stupid enough to hurt themselves.

And it's our right to challenge those (possible unlawful) rules! NAME THE RANGE OP!

The only response should have been "I'm sorry this happened, stop by and we'll refund your money".

Since that wasn't the response, OP, you need to let us know what range this is. Other's should be aware so as to avoid this non-sense.

Yeah that Wa is known for being a stickler for following the rules

ha!
nice guy though. maybe after working so dang hard to keep at least his range running he's being a little more strict? And I thought somebody else was taking over anyway... not sure.

For whatever reason OP does NOT wish to share this information on this forum. Sure, it would be nice to know. HOWEVER, OP has ZERO obligation to share it with us. And NO ONE here has a "RIGHT" to know. Our desire to know does NOT translate into a right to know.

Nobody has said he has a obligation or we have a right...so????
