AFS with no ltc

[DSM_1]

I was under the impression that you would not need an LTC to shoot/rent at afs. I remembered confirming this when I searched but unfortunately I was there earlier tonight and they would not let me rent/shoot without an ltc. The only way I could of shot is if I was with someone who had an ltc and had his own firearm so I could rent. Sucks I was hoping to narrow down my options for my first firearm by trying out the pm9 they had..

After someone rented a gun and blew their brains out there, this was their reaction . . . a change in policy. MFL also has the same policy.

Knee-jerk reactions are limited to legistraitors!

I bet lawyers and insurance companies had something to do with the new policy

Where do you live?

Maybe I'll actually go shoot there now. I've never talked to a single person at my club who's gone there to shoot and didn't have a negative attitude about the people they let in and the lack of supervision over them. Most are literally too scared to ever go back because of the "homeboy shooting" and laserlining.

I've been going to MFL they have never given me any problems.

Where do you live?

I live in Tewksbury.

That is a heck of a ride to go shooting. I'd be willing to let you shoot my PM9, but I am in the Bridgewaters so that is a heck of a ride

ONLY if you are alone AND plan to rent our firearms, you will need to present a certificate showing you have completed a course or have a LTC/CCW from a state that requires a course completion prior to certification.. If you bring a friend with you to the range, these restrictions do not apply.

Thanks for the info lens..I came across the thread about what happened at AFS a couple months ago, and I see what's going on now. I forgot to mention I just realized that MFL never gave me any problems because I never went alone..

I thought you could rent without a ltc if someone else went with you. I didn't think the second had to have a ltc either, just had to be in pairs.

By requiring the unlicensed individual to have a LTC holder accompany them, a range (particularly in MA) is assuring that there will be someone they can truthfully allege was the licensed gun owner whose supervision triggered the exemption allowing an unlicensed person to fire a handgun. Absent such a requirement, the range opens itself up to allegations that having a clerk out front with an LTC while a renter goes to the range is not close enough to trigger the exemption. It also means there is someone for the state to prosecute if it decides to go after the person supervising the suicide shooter.
