Speed Yeah wish I had somewhere better to go but the private ranges around me are all either assholes, exceptionally hard to join, or expensive. My solution is to deal with it and use the public ranges until I can afford to live on a decent chunk of land |

Personal range - uhhh, no.
Private range (that I probably spend more time at) - requires membership, so everything is on file. No sign in/out though. Guest at another range - multiple disclaimer pages every time it seems. |

My indoor range is across the river in IL. I have to sign in, but nothing else. IL residents have to show a FOID card.
Outdoor range is DNR land. Half the time there isn't even anyone there but shooters. Drive in, mag dump, drive off. |

No. My range gives you the combination the lock on the gate. You come and go when you want. There is almost never anyone there let alone someone to check your ID. A member can bring three guests.
Trap shooting on Wednesday night. IDPA(?) shoot one Sunday a month. |

Everyone is different. Outdoor private range I used to be a member of just wanted folks to sign in/out so they could tell who is there. Limited membership, had to take a mandatory safety class before joining. I got pissed off and quit because they'd let .22 pistol competitors take over the rifle lanes on weekends. That wasn't discussed in the membership materials.
The five indoor ranges I've been to all take and hold your ID while shooting. One enters it into their customer database, the other 4 just make you sign the liability sheet. One of them was absolutely iron fisted about ammo checks because they didn't like steel core. Another started ammo checks after DFW Gun burned from the moron that brought tracers. I've never had them record type/model of firearm though. One was an asshole and would demand to inspect everything you brought, most of the others were just interested in neat/different stuff. |

Mixed.
I'm a member at an outdoor range, I have to use a chipped ID card to open the gate. But there is no ID check, and I can bring un-identified guests. Nobody checks to see if I'm actually the one using the card. Went to an indoor range with some friends and had to show and allow them to copy and file an ID.

LOL, I'm in New York..............and I just go the range and shoot. No signing in. Nobody to check anything. Nobody gives a fuck what you shoot. I'd be surprised if anyone raised an eyebrow if you were shooting a machine gun
.
Ranges in northern PA are the same way. One thing to note, there are no public ranges in my neck of the woods. You need to be a member of the club to shoot. Granted, all you need to do to be a member is pay the dues....... |

Private gun range.
You sign in by membership number. It's honor system so you could skip singing in or use someone else's number if you wanted. Although they recently installed automatic gates that use a bade to open. I'm sure badge swipes are logged, so yeah I guess they do log all visitors. Hadn't thought of that. |

Not normally, but since I normally shoot at a public range, operated by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
a hunting license, or Wild Louisiana "use permit", is required. I've never been asked for either. |

The only real "range" I've used here is the Sherburne Range, which is on a WMA here in Louisiana.
Range rules say you have to check in by writing your name on the cards at the check-in station, and you also have to have either a hunting or fishing license, or a wildlife stamp on your person. Granted, I've only been there a few times, but I have never been checked. Over the years I've done the vast majority of my shooting on private land. LC |

When I lived in NY I went to a range where I paid $10 a year to shoot and could pretty much shoot whatever I want and no logbook or people asking questions.
Lot cheaper than here in Ohio. |

I am a range safety officer for our private club. I have to call the front gate to let them know that I'm opening the range and fill out checklist thst stays on a clipboard at the range. If somebody wants to shoot while I'm there I don't ask for ID because if you're inside the communities gate that means that you are member. We do have them sign a release.

Michigan State owned DNR ranges just require you to sign in with name & zip code. No ID. No checking. You could sign Mickey Mouse if you wanted to.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The local county range that I have shot at around here has a book that they want you to sign in to, but I've never seen them check IDs. This tends to be a legal requirement for insurance purposes. My range did the same. Maybe it is an NRA suggestion, because that was who our range insurance was through. There is at least some level of accountability if you can determine the visitors at the time of any possible event. For other ranges, they can increase their membership roles if they find that very few paying members shoot. A range that is unpopulated is not making the most money. Small public indoor ranges do it because of suicides. Really attentive ones have additional countermeasures. |

However, the BP check station after I enter San Diego County has the worst kind of facial recognition and license plate recognition cameras and a lot of them, along with an xray truck.

I carry a gun everywhere, and I can have a brand new one in about ten minutes, any time I want.

One state run range I visit occasionally asks for a name, no id, and I always use the same fake first and last name, for no other reason that to just be a jerk. They also ask about rifle rounds and want to do the magnet test for any steel in the bullet. I show them factory or reloads and then shoot my steel surplus. F'em.
