[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 65530, member: 12"] 270Izzy made a point that he "thought that he could shoot at Fort Bragg". It can be done and in fact it is federal law that the military is required to make their ranges available, albeit on a lower priority behind military usage. USC Title 10, section 4309 "a. All ranges constructed in whole or part with funds provided by the United States may be used by members of the armed forces and by persons capable of bearing arms." b. Military Ranges-(1) In the case of a rifle range referred to in subsection (a) that is located on a military installation, the Secretary concerned may establish reasonable fees for the use by civilians of that rifle range to cover materials and supply costs incurred by the armed forces to make that rifle range available to civilians. (3) use of a rifle range referred to in paragraph (1) by civilians may not intefere with the use of the range by members of the armed forces. Bottom line is any club or group can request to use any military rifle range. They have to a formal agreement with the base normally, pay a range fee (here at Quantico it is $5.75 a person per day), have their Range Safety Officers trained and go through the Base RSO brief etc. Some bases do not like to do and do not publically announce that it required. Normally a formal letter to the Base Commander ref the USC and requesting to start the process has to be honored. if not appeal it higher and they will be force to do it. BH [/QUOTE]
