Any acceptable rifle ranges close to Philly?
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a rifle range usably nearby Center City, Philadelphia. Sadly, all the local rifle ranges are completely unacceptable.
Some have reprehensible anti-gun policies (no CCW on premises!!!) -- Holmesburg, Delaware County Field and Stream. Their websites brag about their support for RKBA -- and they ban CCW on premises. I can't support a range whose politics are indistiguishable from Chuck Schumer.
Other have cloying, country club rules, such as "no more than 1 round (or 5 rds..whatever) in your magazine at a time. The execrable Holmesburg does this, as does the otherwise ok Falls Township and Guthsville ranges.
Others are fine in those regards, but are simply inaccessible -- Bucks County Fish and Game....nice place, but can't get there from here.
So what's left?

It looks about the same distance as BCF&G (heck, they look to be about a mile from each other), hence would be something like 75 minutes or so from me (not near any highway, so have to crawl inland over local roads). On the other hand, what choice do I have?
I shoot at SPAG too, regularly -- I live about 10 blocks away, so it was an easy call. Used to shoot at CP, back when I worked near there.

PS -- we Philadelphia residents better stick together..you'll notice on the CCW renewals that now they insist that your two references be City residents.
A while ago, anyone could be reference. Then, when I renewed last, it had to be people in the metro area. Now it's only City residents. Soon it'll be: only City residents who are personal friends of John Street.

Additionally I usually post in the Philadelphia county forum a day before I head down to SPA&G in case anyone wants to meet up. There's a picture of me over in this thread, so if you ever see me blasting away with my M16 say hi.Dan P, Founder & President, Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association
