In reply to the discussion: 80-year-old woman shoots and kills young intruder after he stabs her husband [View all]vkkv
(3,384 posts)34. Wow, that come back has GOT to be the most childish thing anyone could come up with.
NRA sanctioned gun ranges do not allow:
1) Open carry.
2) You CANNOT even TOUCH your gun when in "cold" mode.
"Cold" = range visitors walking around casually like we would on the 'street' or in public ANYWHERE.
And not only is it forbidden to TOUCH your gun, but your firearm has to be UNLOADED! With the bolt OPEN and MAGAZINE REMOVED.
Just imagine HOW MUCH SAFER our streets would be if we all followed the NRA gun range rules.
The NRA is a lobby group for gun manufacturers.
The word "rifle" in the acronym is meaningless these days.
The NRA should be known as NHGAARA = National Hand-Gun and Assault Rifle Assoc.
