Angeles Shooting Range Sunland CA May 8/9 2010

[V]

Great news folks,

Angeles Shooting Ranges (ASR), the big commericial range everyone knows here in Los Angeles, a couple of miles from the 210/118 fwy junction, has kindly donated the use of four of their private ranges, Eagles Nest, for hosting their first Appleseed shoot, May 8/9 2010.

We will be able to support 50+ shooters at this range and we really want to show them a good turnout. Tell everyone you know about this opportunity and come out and join us for a great family weekend of rifle marksmanship and history and heritage. It won't get any cheaper than this as ASR have donated the ranges so there is no host range fee. You will pay $70 if you register online for the weekend unless your under 21, female, or active Military/Guard/Reserve.

The range is at 12651 Little Tujunga Canyon Road, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342, www.angelesranges.com 

Take 210 EXIT 8 toward OSBORNE ST/LAKE VIEW TERRACE.Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto FOOTHILL BLVD Turn LEFT onto OSBORNE ST. which becomes LITTLE
TUJUNGA CANYON RD. Range entrance is on the left. When you reach the main parking lot you will see public range office on the right and the reloading/gun store on the left. Turn left taking the road up the hill beside the reloading store. You will see a sign right for "Eagles Nest." Follow signs for Appleseed event.

State Laws to be aware of:
All applicable California rifle restrictions are in place, if in doubt to what is allowable, please refer to http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/

*No detachable box magazines may be brought into state with capacity exceeding ten rounds. All Tubular-magazine 22s are OK.

*"Assault weapons" ban- If you're registered with CA DOJ already, you're fine and can shoot your AK, AR15, G3 etc. with no problem.  Might want to Xerox the DOJ document and keep it in the rifle case.  Do not bring an unregistered "assault weapon" into the state.  Do not bring an unregistered "assault weapon" to the range.  Similarly, unregistered 50 BMG is not legal.

Out of state shooters, don't bring military-pattern semiautomatics as they're almost sure to fall under the "assault weapon" ban.  M1 Garands are OK,
however.  Having said all that about "assault rifles", there is provision in state law for out-of-state shooters to bring "assault rifles" to CA shooting
events; anybody wants to try that out might want to read the statute for themselves and consult a lawyer-welcome to California.

This is is 25 M only event, bring any rifle you have .22 or centerfire. No steel core, steel jacketed or bi-metal rounds are allowed on this range. Bring food and drink, there is a hot-dog stand but its on the public range a drive away. Brown bag and plan to stay at the range and hear the Story.
