Gun Club Rules & Safety Guidelines
LEGAL NOTICE
Welcome to our private Gun Club! We are not a public gun range. As a member, you are granted the privilege to shoot on our private property.
Bullet list
No alcohol or drugs are allowed on the premises, including medical marijuana.
Private Property Notice: Only members and their guests are permitted. Anyone else is trespassing.
Discharge Laws: In Florida, firing a gun on private property without the owner's permission is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine per trigger pull.
While we are not in the business of getting people arrested, if an incident occurs and law enforcement requests our security footage, we will provide it.
Video surveillance & trail cameras are present throughout the property. There is no expectation of privacy on the premises.
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Ventilation Requirement: At all times, at least two doors must be open, and one fan must be running for proper air circulation, even in colder months.
Emergency Equipment: A first aid kit is mounted on the wall near the bathroom. The address is posted above it, behind the counter, and over the small entrance door.
Cell Phone Signal: Reception may be unreliable inside the building.
SHOOTING RANGE PROCEDURES
Opening the Range
Turn on lights and fan
Open the designated non-shooting door and secure it with the chain and pin.
Firearm Handling on Entry:
When you arrive, cased and holstered firearms must go directly onto the shooting tables.
If no one is shooting, the range is COLD—meaning NO physical contact with any firearm.
Setting Up Targets:
No one should be at the firing tables while someone is downrange.
The red line on the floor marks the boundary for a cold range—everyone must remain behind it when others are downrange.
Going "HOT"
Once all targets are set and everyone is behind the cold range line, the range may go HOT:
Firearms may be removed from holsters and cases.
The first firearm must be rendered SAFE:
Semi-Auto: Drop the magazine, clear the chamber, lock the slide back, check for remaining rounds, and place it on the left side.
Revolvers:
Double-action: Open the cylinder, eject bullets, and place it on the right side.
Single-action: Open the loading gate, empty it, and place it on the left side.
NRA 3 Safety Rules:
Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
Always keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use.
Loading & Handling
