Or been stopped for it?

FWIW, his last name was Douglas. I made sure to remember it in case I ever got jammed up bringing my friend with me.

Is this even posted that you must present a "shooting range permit" to shoot there? I'm wondering why they don't post this at the site? Would make things a lot easier on them and to us shooters.

I believe it is.

You would think that they would take better care of the place, since they now get permit money. Also, a portion of the tax on ammo, and that has to be significant, is supposed to go for maintenance on the ranges. Since it looks like they are doing nothing, where is the money going?
