Not gonna say much more about it than to say; I enjoy going there, never had a bad experience, bought several new guns, holsters, belts, supplies, use the range quite a bit and have taken several classes there. Always get good service and goods for a very fair price. Today for instance, when I was leaving around 1PM, the place was very busy, I made it a point to observe; this is what I saw: lots of people getting professional, friendly service. The range was full, the store was full. Staff and customers looked quite happy to me.

If some have had a bad time there, its not for me to argue. Been working out fine for me and mine.

(no, I don't work there, or know the owners or staff personally)

Ahh, never been there was just wondering .. another anti-OC range. I'd like to see the 2A ranges and anti-2A ranges in a list.. I'd refuse to go there just like I refuse to go to Double Action .. even though it's down the street.

Pro 2A Ranges such as Southside Sportsmans Club in Battle Creek.

OK, hold on a minute folks! The Second Amendment applies to the government infringing on the the right to keep and bear arms, not a private entity. I don't understand why some can't get this. If a business does not want OC on their property, that does not make then anti 2A. Now if you don't like it and don't want to do business with them, that's all fine and good, but that does not make them anti-2A. :banghead:

Correct. The 2A does apply to the federal government.

Support of it, without qualification, it what determines if an entity is for it or against it.

You can't have it both ways.

Either we stand together. Or we hang alone.

Yes you can have it both ways, private property and public property are separate. And they are supposed to be!!! Any other way to have it is socialism. Private propert rights are equally important. If TFL has reasons for not wanting OC in THEIR store, so what. They may not want you yelling profanity in there either; does that make them anti-1A?

No comparison.

Yelling profanities in their store is unlawful I believe.

OC is lawful I believe.

Unlawful activity is not constitutionally protected.
