After shooting at literally dozens of shooting quarries, designated shooting areas, public ranges and the occasional snooty private range, I thought I’d seen every stupid rule and regulation out there. Bans on ‘rapid fire’ (‘rapid fire’ meaning firing faster than a speeding Brown Bess musket)? Check. Bans on prone/kneeling/offhand firing? Take your pick, I’ve been there. Bans on loading more than three rounds in your magazine? More common than I once believed. One unnamed private shooting range (just south of Portland, Oregon, cough cough) even prohibits you from setting down your closed and locked gun case in the wrong direction.
But threatening felony prosecution for scrounging brass? I guess I hadn‘t seen it all.
