Did everybody know about this except me, or is it as obscure as I think it is?

That says, essentially, that subject to reasonable restrictions you may use government-funded ranges, and if it's on a base you can't interfere with military use.
I don't recommend trying to beat anyone over the head with it, since if you make an enemy of Range Control it's not going to go anywhere you want to go even if, in theory, you are granted access. On the other hand, if the powers-that-be are on the fence, maybe it will get them to jump off in the right direction?
What ever happened with the potential civilian use of some of the Camp Edwards ranges that was floated a couple of years ago, anyway?
