Re: Conceal Carry when going to the Range?

Be sure to keep weapon pointed in safe direction and immediately clear w/action staying open - then, lay weapon on bench and proceed with normal range operations.

For Eagle Peak, make sure you only do this during a "Range is Hot" time - and I always make sure to reholster right before I leave - while range is hot. I believe I've only missed my exit once (where I didn't have time to pack other stuff in time of cease fire calling) - still no issue with concealed carry at that point... From that point on, I make it standard procedure to pack everything in bag before reholstering.

I personally intend to shoot my EDC weapons as frequently as possible and thus it would be rare that I visit any pistol range and not at least fire off 25-50 rounds through them! I've toned down the frequency on my LCP though - no more than 25 each session now!
Eagle Peak - you must know Roland. I haven't heard them yell "who's the cowboy" from someone rapid firing for some time. Always laughed at that.

Just don't do it behind the firing line when another shooter is in front of you. I had a guy behind me unholster and start fidling with it with the barrel pointed right at my wife. Thats the first time I jumped down a guy's throat with both feet at a range (or anywhere in along time for that matter). :mad5
