State game land range question
Stupid question - If I take my 5.56 AR pistol to the state game land pistol range, do you think I'd run into trouble with a game warden if they saw me shooting what looks like a rifle? It is by definition a pistol, but looks like every bit of an AR 15 rifle. Just a random thought I had.

Re: State game land range question
I don't see any listed prohibitions in their rules on it.

Re: State game land range question
I go to a state game lands range 2-3 times a month to shoot. I often see others there shooting braced AR & AK pistols. The game warden has come by 3 times while I was there, but the only tickets I've seen him write are for not having a range access/ hunting license. One guy got ticketed for firing a full 20rnd magazine as well.

Yea, I have only seen tickets for too many rounds in the magazine.

Re: State game land range question
You aren't required to have a "hunting" pistol or rifle on a gameland range, but be aware of capacity restrictions as others have said.

Re: State game land range question
Ok, thanks for the responses. Yes, I'm aware of the rules there. I just had that concern about AR pistols. I've never had a bad run-in with a game warden there. It was just more of a "what if" kinda thought.

IMHO, shooting at a SGL range is basically playing russian roulette.
