Re: ND at Springfield gun range
If memory serves they have a part of that range used only by "advanced" members, who have taken X amount of training there. Those members are allowed to work from a holster, concealed or open.
No idea if that factors in or not. I'm certainly not against the practice in general. But you got to exercise caution every single time!

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: ND at Springfield gun range
I'm a member there and it's a very well run range. There is a small range for more individual training but usually has a range officer/instructor there. The ND probably happened in the large A or B ranges. Unfortunate that this would happen.Brian D. wrote:If memory serves they have a part of that range used only by "advanced" members, who have taken X amount of training there.

Glock'd himself with a 1911!

I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!

Re: ND at Springfield gun range
I'm curious as to what the gun was also but regardless safe handling didn't appear to happen either way. IDK what it was but my guess it wasn't a DA revolver, unless the victim's first name is Barney.

Re: ND at Springfield gun range
Massad Ayoob had an ND with a double action revolver during a class not all that long ago.
