If you are going to a public range (forrest pawnee etc) you should always have a loaded gun with you when reloading checking targets etc
You don't want someone shooting you with your own guns
Those places skeeve me out
This... I always take my CCW with me downrange.
My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.
If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
