In order to best monitor safety on our 15 acre range property, the handling of loaded firearms and/or uncased firearms is prohibited outside of "HOT" public firing lines and on Member Range Bays. 

Holstered firearms are not allowed outside of MEMBER ranges - even when unloaded - except for Law Enforcement Officer on DUTY and PPC Range Safety Officers.  Holsters and holstered firearms are NOT allowed on Range 1 & Range 2 (these are the public ranges).

If you are carrying loaded firearms on your person or inside your vehicle: stop at the loading/unloading station just past our main gate, clear and case all firearms, then proceed to check in at the RSO Range Office. 

​

You can reload and re-holster your firearm at the same loading/unloading station at the main gate after your range visit as you leave the property.

If you do not have a case for your firearm, please let the on duty RSO know and they may be able to provide you with a loaner case for your range visit.  Please leave all firearms in your vehicle until after you check in with the on duty RSO, and after you arrive at your assigned range bay.

After any firearm is uncased, when not in use or when the range is in a COLD condition, chamber flags are required. 

The proper COLD firearm status on a range or firing line is: magazine removed, ammunition cleared, slide/bolt/action locked back, chamber flag inserted in the chamber so that the unloaded status can be visibly confirmed by any RSO and all people on the range or firing line. 

If you do not have chamber flags for your firearms, they are available at the RSO office for $1.

​

Just a reminder - Chamber flags go in the chamber...not in the muzzle.  If you are unclear on the proper use of chamber flags, please ask a PPC RSO.

Eye & ear protection are mandatory on our range.  There are a variety of good products available at local retailers or online. Basic foam ear plugs are available for sale at the RSO office.
