    You can have ammo in your mags just nothing in the firearm.

    Best piece of advise I can give you is to go to the safety area before you check in, check your FA, belt and holster positions and only after that go and check in.

    NO No no NB I don't agree. Most ranges have a unloading bay close to the gate/entry point. You may only unload and load your firearm for traveling to and from the range. No ammo may be handled in or close to the safety areas. Safety areas are only there for testing your unloaded equipment and doing a couple of dryfire draws etc. Always remember that according to IPSC a firearm with a mag in is seen as loaded. If you arrive for verification make sure your snapcap is out of your gun, nothing may be in your chamber. Best is to arrive with a unloaded empty gun and all your empty mags for in a gun pouch for check-in.

    The drive from the entry gate to the actual handgun range is approximately 2-5 kms.
    So i have to stand in the open public at the gate & unload my gun?
    So what happens during that 10mins whilst im driving to the handgun range & some fool tries to hijack me?

    Enter PERPC & park your vehicle.
    If you shoot your carry weapon, go straight to the unloading bay to remove from holster & make safe.
    if you shooting a different gun, keep it in its case & go to the unloading bay to make it safe...

    Sorry forgot not everyone knows the range here in PE..

    You know.... I wanted to take a few but when i was walking with my phone out calculating the number of rounds per stage, i got quite a few weird looks...

    & now we are blessed with some rain. Hope everyone finished their shoots...

    Question for participants - where do you find the tshirts everyone was wearing?
