Restrictions on "Black Guns" at the Range

Do to confusion in the laws. All AR or AK style Rifles are not allowed to be brought onto the range except for events on the 2nd Saturday of each month. They will be checked that they conform to California and Federal laws before they can be allowed on the premises. If they do not conform they must be removed from the range. This is for insurance purposes as well as the law. The 2nd Saturday Rifle Range event allows these rifles to be used provided they are legal as well.
