Trump Administration Declares Gun Dealers and Manufacturers 'Essential Businesses' ..

That's up to you. I may be more paranoid than you. If I had access to a non-official range that is what I would always use.

Well I do have access to a non-official range and will use that.
You are welcome to join me sometime if you wish.
The owner of the property is an FFL that also sells ammo.
I buy some ammo from him and he lets me shoot all I want to.
I take the rest home for future use.
He's out Front Royal way in the mountains.

Sounds cool!

It's nice to see Trump defending guns for a change. More often than not, he's doing the opposite.

I would be careful going to a range now. I wouldn't put it past an anti-2nd Amendment state having ranges staked out and names of gun owners being recorded to create a list for a future raid list once they try to seize firearms.

That possibility exists with or without the current virus.

True. I figure the chances may go up if the ranges are opened over this. The anti-gun types may be energized to do something.

The snowflakes who would do that may still be too frightened to leave their home.

Good point.

The one thing I miss is going to the range. They are still open, reduced hours, and I can go during low use days and times but I have a pretty evolved skill set, been shooting for 54 years, so I guess I'll just sit it out for awhile. I can dry fire train at home with my Laser gear anyways.

We had several safe areas in the are which were not official ranges, but recently the state closed them down. They gated them off and denied access.


There is still one left open which is basically impossible to gate off. A couple of my buddies and I went there shooting a while back. A local deputy showed up and sat in his car watching us. When we were done shooting I went to talk to him and he refused to talk. He just drove off.

Back home in Louisiana we would just go out to the spillway- when it wasn't being used for flood control. That was a great place to shoot. A friend of mine had a portable clay thrower. Cops never bothered to go out there, or at least not when I was there.
