Re: SGL range mag limits
Quite a few years a back (early 2000's?), they proposed new range rules and asked for comments. The original proposal banned semi-autos from Gameland ranges. I believe the mag limits were the compromise, we got semi-autos at the ranges but with a mag limit. As I recall, the primary reason for the proposed ban was several of the high traffic ranges were getting shot up pretty bad due to high rates of fire and careless aiming (AKA mag dump).

Re: SGL range mag limits
Well, apparently it doesn’t work well, because you broke the magazine limit rule.
My experience with SGL 43 (Chester County) years ago is there were knuckleheads from DelCo who had no concept of safety or range rules. The last straw for me was walking back after hanging targets and seeing said knuckleheads fondling rifles that were aimed at me. I never went back, but heard things improved after the game commission imposed the range permit/hunting license rule.
By the way, you’re fortunate for the warning and deserved a citation.

Re: SGL range mag limits
When you bought your gun, did you tear up your unfilled 4473, throw it at the shop owner while yelling "Have you ever heard of something called the US Constitution Motherfucker?" then grab the gun and run home without ever completing your PICS check?
Let's not pretend like you're some 2A fundamentalist or something. The rule is one of the few that are clearly posted. You got caught, and got off one a warning instead of a $100+ fine. The range is there primarily for hunters to practice for an ethical shot. It is the Pennsylvania Game Commission after all. For game where there is a magazine limit, it is typically 3 (a duck plugged shotgun). If you don't like it, find somewhere else to shoot. I didn't like it, I went elsewhere and only go to the SGL range if I need to sight something in after work.
Wherever you end up, try and follow the rules there. I'm tired busting my ass only to find shot up TVs at my club.

Re: SGL range mag limits
This is a way for them to make money. They could care less about safety. This is obvious every time you go to the range. People are constantly doing stupid things that could wind up with people being shot and nobody gives a shit. Fire seven rounds instead of six and you are getting a fine.
This used to possible me off. Now I just use it as an opportunity to practice more reloads.Any vote for a third party is a vote for a Democrat. You are the enemy.
