Usually I am out running errands or going to appointments that take me all over town. Whenever one of these trips takes me close to a range and time allows I like to stop in.
Usually I have a .45 as my truck gun, a makarov, VZOR 70, and now a .38 snubbie or any combination of these on my person.
It is easy for me to conceal up to 3 guns for short periods of time and since I don't carry a range bag, ammo or shooting glasses with me (no trunk)
I tuck the pistols into their respective holsters and walk into the range.
This is how it usually goes down:
I walk up ask for a lane, a box of 45acp. .32acp, .38 special (no one carries 9x18 so I have to make due with my 4 loaded mags) also glasses and hearing protection.
After paying, I begin to walk out the door toward the pistol range and they invariably stop me and ask "hey, where are your guns?" or don't you need
your guns?"
The law is fuzzy on declaring that you have a concealed weapon on your person so I usually say "Yeah, got em thanks" and hope for the best.
These folks who are around guns 24/7 have concealed carry classes and are shooters themselves act freaked out whenever I show up with no visible firearms.
I would imagine they would be more freaked out if I walked in with a pistol in each hand....
When I had a sedan there was storage for a range bag and goodies
but a range bag in a truck is an invitation for goblins to smash and grab.
Any suggestions? Or should the range folks just get over it?
