I've been a member of a local gun club for over thirty years. The club just completed a renovation of the rifle range which was very extensive. More than needed actually, but that's another story.
Soon as the new range was completed, two new rules were posted.
1. No breech loading rifles .50 caliber or larger.
2. No magazines which will hold more than ten rounds.
These rules don't really affect me . . . I don't own a .50 caliber rifle and only use large magazines occasionally in my AR-15, but guess it's the principle of the thing. The gun club is NRA affiliated and these rules were not mentioned to the membership before they were posted.
My reaction was basically, "Gee . . . it's a gun club. Where else do we go to shoot these banned firearms?"
Obviously, some in-house politics is involved here. :banghead:
Just wonder what you guys think of this situation?

ralph
