    Every time I have gone I had my guns in the bag and no one checked. Have they checked anyone else? I've also never seen them ask anyone to show the guns state. At honey island they always do though.


    Anyways..

    I'm off all week and should be able to make it to Precision if given a little notice. I plan on going at least twice this week if anyone is interested.

    If you have your choice of stalls pick the far right, most people are right handed, so when they are fiddling with there gun it won't be pointed at you. Before you enter the shooting area just watch, you will see what I'm talking about

    Rule 1: Go locked and loaded
    Rule 2: Fondle the trigger upon entering.
    Rule 3: Yell its loaded and I'm here to shoot.
    Rule 4: Shoot one warning shot to prove you are capable of handling the weapon.

    Once this occurs you will either get the range to yourself or a sharp pain in your chest followed by a substantial amount of blood loss and potential loss of life.

    EDIT: I think the other rules mentioned above might work better. Please disregard the info I posted above :)

    Very good advice. I'll have to remember that one.

    Cajungunslinger, if you have your conceal carry liscense bring it. They will let you go to the mainstage and get a free lap dance....

    Well, just to let you know so you don't go wrong, Precision has their rules clearly written on a large 2'x4' sign in front of their door. No way you can miss it. They are also picky about the buffer doors. YOU MUST SHUT ONE BEFORE YOU OPEN THE NEXT! Or you will possibly have a very pissed off lobby waiting on you when you come out.
