18 year old gun range visit?

[tcrawford19]

Hey y'all,

I live nearby Elm Fork Gun Range in Irving, Tx. I've shot skeet there with my Dad a couple times growing up, and now that I'm 18, I want to make sure I can legally go over there and shoot by myself. Am I in the clear?

Thanks,
Thomas C.

You can take shotguns and rifles...

You should not have any issues as you can now legally own a handgun if you want. (Of course, you can't purchase it from a FFL, but you can from an individual or have one gifted to you.)

I don't think you have any legal issues shooting there, but the range may have it's own rules. Best thing to do would be to call them and ask.

From reading their range rules, don't know why most folks would take a rifle there anyways.......................

Those range rules are ridiculous.

That place is a joke.

We should call and see if they would like to host a TGT get together!!!

Fawk those rules. Shit like that is why people don't get out and shoot as much. Range owners are scaring them off with rediculous rules!

Sounds like Nancy Pelosi runs the place...

All rifles at 100 yards must be scoped? I don't own a rifle with a scope -- I guess my Garand and Springfield aren't welcome. What a pansy range.

Probably just made an account to ask that one question and chucked up the deuces. What a shame.

Why no 22lr at the 100yd range? No red dots on the 100yd range? Why the hate for Russian rifles? Could you use a wasr10 or saiga?

Maybe an unconverted Saiga but cetainly not a WASR as it has a pistol grip!!!

I was gonna post a pic of Elmer Fudd, but he doesn't use a scope
