30.06/30.07 at municipal gun range

#1

Post by John Fernandez »

Is a city owned and operated gun range allowed to post 30.06/30.07 signs? This would be to insure safety, to prevent customers from violating established safety protocols.

Understanding that it is illegal for government properties to post the signage if not otherwise prohibited, is there something that would allow them to do this?

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a city owned range as I've never heard of that. Is this unique to Galveston? But I don't think that there're exceptions for gun ranges as they are not in the listing of prohibited places as far as I know.

Amarillo has a very nice city-owned range. They have a sign "No loaded guns in the building" or something similar, but no 30.06 sign.

Wow, never knew that they existed but then I have to say that I've not gone looking for one and wouldn't have thought to do so.

The range I go to, Red Indoor Range in Austin (not a municipal range), has a sign that says "keep your actions open" while in the building. I assume they are referring to every gun except a license holder's concealed (or now open) carry, properly holstered handgun. is that a safe assumption?

They're a gun range, they know about 30.06. If they wanted to post a 30.06, they would.
