Greetings,
I'm out at UCLA for the summer, and looking to go out and do some plinking with my cousins who live down in Oceanside. I know that there's a civilian shooting range just north of downtown, but would prefer to shoot outdoors where there's less noise, and I can use reactive targets.
I was thinking that we could take a roadtrip up to the BLM lands in Palomar (maybe an hour's drive away?) and go plink, but was wondering if there's anything a bit closer.
I'm USMC IRR (inactive reserve), and my cousins are dependents of USR-Ret, so we'd have no problem getting on base, but is there any recreational range aboard Pendleton that we can use? Any special requirements? Would I need to register the firearms with PMO first, or just declare at the gate and get some temporary pass? Can shooters under 18 shoot with my supervision?
If anyone has any other options, either outdoor private range with daily rates for non-members, or any public land closer than Palomar, it'd be good to hear it. Thanks,
-MV
