I second this. In my adult shooting life, I've yet to go shooting at one of these ranges on public land. I love the idea of it, but after hearing all these breach of safety stories and the trash, I'm glad I joined a private range.

I don't think I've ever seen a blatant violation of the rules at the private ranges/clubs I've been to. There's no 'Bangers, Thugs or Yahoo's there.
