Some gun clubs will not allow silhouette targets!

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

I am glad you are with me "in the Choir." As for Liability Waivers, unfortunately the sky diving Instructor (who signed his on that fateful day) died on his 3,003th sky dive. The Quality of a Liability Waiver is predicated on the quality of the Lawyer who draws it up. We all know some lawyers are at the top of their class, some in the middle and some at the bottom.

As for serious CCW folks: If they cannot draw loaded guns from their holsters at their gun club, WHERE can they do so BEFORE the need in Gravest Extreme on the street? The state has given them permission to carry a loaded gun on the street in a holster and now some gun club says they cannot draw from that same holster and "acquire" a target as they may have to on the street?

Gun clubs should be anxious to accomodate CCW folks rather than say "No holster draw because a mope shot the range ceiling!" There are many mopes driving cars, running chainsaws, navigating motor boats, etc. Serious CCW folks cannot rid the world of mopes, but if they cannot draw and fire at their gun club, where can they do "Live Fire?"

I own 60 very hilly acres; half wooded and half hayfileds. We fire everything from .22 CB caps to a Barrett .50 caliber semi-auto rifle SAFELY. I know we are friends and I have no axe to grind with you. All my CCW folks draw from their holsters and do double taps on a B-27 silhouette target. It may be unsafe for any mope to do likewise on the average gun club range. I do not know, I am not instructing there. I have very serious CCW students and they leave my farm ready for whatever comes their way. When the general public becomes involved, then we MUST realize that the best we can hope for is the "LOWEST COMMON DEMONINATOR", and, I agree Mr. 16 gauge, THAT is very scary.

Be well.

Adam

As for "Idiots," those bullet holes in the indoor range ceiling you mentioned in a prior post were NOT due to holsters of any type! I suggest it was due to improper training BEFORE the mopes went to "Live Fire."
