There are the same restrictions for possessing a handgun as an SBR, the only difference is the payment of a tax. There is no permit. A range who checks for the TAX STAMP, is acting as an agent for tax collection.TomsTXCHL wrote:I disagree with this, because first of all whether one has a CHL or not, there is no license required to "possess firearms in general". OTOH silencers or SBRs do require a special permit, are very easily identified by bystanders, and if any of those bystanders are LEOs they might be inclined depending on the circumstances to determine whether the owners have them legally. From the private business owners' perspective, it is well within their rights to try and limit "illegal activities" on their properties, so that they don't become known among LEOs as a place where the laws of the land are overlooked or ignored.Tic Tac wrote:Unless they require all shooters to show a CHL or other proof they're legally qualified to possess firearms in general, checking paperwork for silencers or SBR sounds pretty silly.
Since the restrictions are the same, ie felony convictions, etc., how do they know I am not a convicted felon domestic violence, illegal alien, and drug abuser?
I clearly said it is within their rights, it is just stupid to do. I'll repeat, what range employees have been trained in recognition of a legitimate tax stamp?
