I guess that might sound odd coming from me but we have a couple rifles and a couple handguns...all legal of course! I have kept this gun in my nightstand for years now and have never fired it. I thought it might be a good idea to know how to handle the gun, plus I think it'll be cool.

BTW, at what age can teens shoot at places like that? They know about the guns and have been taught forever about them....when they were young they didn't know we had them and they do still have gun locks on em...not that that helps much for spur of the moment self protection, but kids are kids. Anyway... LOL...I thought it'd be a good idea for them to learn how to handle a gun. Doesn't sound like the Cleaver's idea of a fun family outing huh?

So...where can I go play Rambo?

Add to those:

Sportsman Inc (indoor pistol, Hands Mill Hwy towards York, SC)
Mecklenburg Rifle Club (rifle/pistol/clays near 485 and 85 north of the airport)
Central Carolinas Shooting Club (IDPA club, uses Sportsman Inc for indoor practice, and outdoor range down in Rock Hill)

There is a real shortage of long-distance rifle ranges in the Charlotte area, but plenty of 100yd and closer rifle/pistol.

Just FYI to OP- You have to be a member of CRPC to shoot there. Firepower Inc might be your best place to start.

I've given up on all of the ranges around here. I shoot on private land in SC where a friend has set up a 300 yard range.

If your boyfriend has hesitated, even for a second, to take you shooting after you requested it... well... er... um...

... it's time for a new man in your life!

Wonder if we've ever been at the same time? It's very convenient if you live in the Matthews area

Please sign up for a safety and shooting class soon! No one should have a gun in their nightstand that they don't know how to handle, that's very dangerous.
