[bob 210]

Another Appleseed in Central California! And in the beautiful town of Bridgeport, CA! Up HWY 395 into the gorgeous Sierra's and right before you

get into the town of Bridgeport you'll find the Bridgeport Shooting Range. There is some limited available camping on the range, but that won't

stop you from finding numerous campsites in the surrounding area. With great camping, fishing and scenery, not to mention Rifle Marksmanship

and Heritage this can be a great adventure for the whole family! This is the next step in the Central California explosion of the Appleseed Program

and for those of you in nearby Northern Nevada, this is a great opportunity also! This great event takes place July 25-26, 2009. The kids are out

of school and it's time for a vacation! The Bridgeport Shooting Range has room for 30 shooters, so don't wait and miss out. Reserve your spot on

State Laws to be aware of:   Check State Laws: http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/
*No detachable box magazines may be brought into state with capacity exceeding ten rounds.  Unless you owned them prior to Jan1, 2000; then it's OK. 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 Garand and most 10-shot fixed-magazine SKS.are OK, however.  There is one SKS exception: Zastava SKS Carbines 59/66 are considered destructive devices in California and therefore may not be purchased, possessed, imported, or kept for sale without a permit.  (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.)

Transporting firearms:
Transport rifles and pistols unloaded.  Pistols and "assault rifles" go in padlocked containers.  Car trunk is considered a locked container, but glove compartment, even if it locks, is not OK.  (I go the extra mile and padlock everything: firearms in one padlocked container, ammunition in another padlocked container.  More than law requires, though.)

Ammunition: No tracer ammo allowed

Misc:  Lunch and water will be supplied by the range. It is 25 meter shooting, so bring your Centerfire rifles or 22's out and gain valuable marksmanship skills.
