This right here is why I Hesitate at joining the local clubs.
One person says its OK, then someone else gets in your kool-aide about the very same thing ten minutes later.
I have "guested" at several clubs as well as a few of the public ranges that do this or they hem-haw at certain rules or requirements.
"Well I let my Brother Earl do dat 'cuz he's married t' our sister Betty-Jo, but only if'n he had less'n a 12 pack."
WTF?
If I could convince a certain place WAAAAAAAAAY out east to move closer....
