PS I would be up before the B.O.D. hanging that RM out to dry
This, if he's going to flex muscles as an agent of the club his legal advice needs to be correct! He needs some retraining.

My opinion of him and willingness to assume that Top Shot did more creative editing than we are led to believe went through the roof when did those posters. They are great and speak highly of him as a person.Yup, nice guy to be printed on target.
What exactly is the point for a club to have a LTC?
....that such large capacity weapons and ammunition feeding devices may be used .... by such members that possess a valid firearm identification card....

Send a letter to the officers and/or board of your club including a copy of the law in question. Ask them to inform the range officer that he is wrong. They can't fix it if they don't know about it.
Actually, yeah, you do. I was at a gun shop in NH and this myth was being repeated to customers in the shop. (something along the lines of "these targets are illegal in MA"
This myth has gone so far and wide you would swear that Joseph Goebbels was ressurected from the dead, for the sole purpose of running around to MA and NH gun stores and ranges, telling them about the law in MA that makes it a crime to use silhouette/humanoid targets.

I would not be surprised if there are a bunch of clubs in MA that have a policy based off this law, despite the fact that they aren't bound to obey it.

anyone know about BRP, if they have that rule? I am just asking, I haven't tried going with one or asking.
Keep that in mind if you ever have a serious medical problem that the hospital in East Podunk, NH can't figure out. You'll need to come to Boston and get a second opinion at world class hospital.
Seattle rains almost 365 days. You need to find an indoor range.

hahaha, it's not too bad. I'm not actually a fan of ranges, indoor or otherwise because it feels so weird. I much prefer going up into the mountains and shooting. Out west there is room to do it, and few happy shinies to get in the way of it.Seattle rains almost 365 days. You need to find an indoor range.
This for days. Drive a few hours out, maybe stay there a few days, then come back to "civilization."However if you are so inclined to drive a few hours, shooting in the Cascades is very tough to beat.

IF you're lucky, get a little fishing in.

Back in 1999 I was told that these targets were "illegal" and that I could be "arrested on sight" during the new member orientation at BR&P.
So quit and join somewhere else. HSC has no such goofy policy.I know Danvers has a problem with this. They made me stop shooting silhouettes, but they cited club policy instead of law. Other clubs I have shot at have had no problems.
See above.screw it, I will post it: Pembroke gun club. Old Colony Sportsmen association.
The club policy (and the RM told me it didnt change), says that we cant shoot at pics (or drawing) of real people. No gf, boss, ex wife, friend, fellow NES member...
My buddy is a member at a club in Woburn. Same lame deal. No human shaped targets.

They have the oldest people running the club, half of them dont like Emails, so its impossible to get to them
What each club needs is for more younger people to get involved, volunteer for committees and, most importantly, get on the boards.

That doesnt matter, but what is the point of not allowing people to shoot human shaped targets in clubs that have an LTC? I would be more afraid of a guy that can hit a one inch square at 50 feet than of a dude that shoots at a human shaped target at 10 feet and his shots are all over the place.
Next time I go, I will bring Zombie targets, see if they bitch about those.
Some clubs are stubborn. They have the oldest people running the club, half of them dont like Emails, so its impossible to get to them and the websites are never updated. They change policy and dont let anyone know...But when its time for the fees, we all find out, and we find out in time.

It is possible that this piece of legislation (to put it kindly) got watered down to the point of being meaningless (other than for LTC A clubs and for propaganda / misinformation purposes) by: a) ignorance/sloppy drafting; b) someone with a more reasonable mindset toward 2nd and/or 1st Amendment rights tinkering with it along the way; or c) a combination of A&B.
It could be argued that one has a 1st Amendment right to poke holes in a photo of a politician you don't support. Assuming that you post the target correctly, know what is beyond it and have at least rudimentary marksmanship skills, it seems less dangerous than burning the flag in a public place which has been upheld as a form of "speech".
Yes, you are mixed up.so all silliness aside. I'm a little mixed up here, pictures of people are a no-no, right?
