Albuquerque Area Meet & Greet

[george29]

I was thinking of getting a fun day to shoot, meet and greet somewhere down the line, maybe sometime in September or October when the weather cools off a bit. I don't mind keeping track of things but help and input from other LOE residents would be appreciated. I have already met a few Land of Enchantment members and some have become friends, others a quick beer for lack of time, so I would really like to form an informal shooting group, serve some food and drink perhaps, maybe even do some politics as a group instead of the usual whining we always hear. Let me hear from you either here or PM me. I'm certain most of us will be coming from the SF - Belen area but we can always hope that others will contact me as well. You'd be surprised what a small group can do in pressuring the State. George.

Where did you have in my mind a public or private range?

 

[Q!!]

Count me in. Sounds like a great time.

Some clubs don't allow for guests like the one in RR, I was thinking of Shooting Park on Paseo del Volcan but this doesn't mean someone here can't get us into one of the clubs or knows of a better place. Shooting Park only charges $6 per person, it has restrooms and a vending machine as well as ranges for private parties. One of my friends is an instructor which should be good enough to get us a private area.

It's a nice range - it might be difficult to get a large number of benches together as hunting season approaches, but it's been pretty dead given the ammo situation. There's the infamous Denny's (scene of that murder in the recent takeover robbery nearby) - I don't believe they sell liquor . . .

 

[george29]

Denny's would be a good place for an OPEN CARRY breakfast, the right neighborhood to do it in as well.

I'm in, not to sure how friendly the shooting range park is for holstered weapons. You would think we would be ok as long as we are not firing the holstered gun but I don't know (considering their rules for no firing from a holster).

 

[Erich]

That range is not friendly to holstered weapons unless you're a 34 (ABQ cop slang for the fuzz ).

 

[Mags]

Let's get Paul Gallagher and the NM Gun collector's in on this, maybe Paul will let us go to Zia.

The more the merrier.
