Shooting at police ranges

[FTRrookie]

I was told that when you shoot at one of these ranges Terribonne Sheriff's for example, they do an NCIC on you to make sure you can legally own a gun and they keep a record of known gun owners. Presumably to make it easier to confiscate them if the laws change. Is this true or is my friend just being paranoid? I know that this happened to registered gun owners after Katrina in N.O. Their guns were confiscated and it took months to get them back. He won't shoot at a police range only private ones.

Lafourche has no such policy.

Neither does IPSO.

I volunteer as a RSO at Lafayette SO range and no such thing occurs AFAIK.

Knowing the vociferous pro-2nd Amendment leanings of all the sheriff's department personnel who work the New Iberia Sheriff's Range, I find this idea rather laughable.

Delta: Everyone that responded has been told to deny the checks are happening. Finger print readers are being installed at the Office of Homeland Securities' expense at thousands of retailers all over the state. Be very careful where and how you place your hands/fingers on counter tops. The newest readers are being installed on entry doorway handles.

I shoot at the Terrebonne range all the time, and no, there's no checks. You just have to sign in and list your name, address, phone#, and Drivers License#. I doubt they're doing any actual checks.

When the Iberia S.O. first opened their range to the public they would take your photo and mail you an I.D. card in the mail. I would be willing to bet that they did NCIC checks on some of the people.

The I.D. card thing didn't last long at all, maybe a couple of months. I'm guessing that they found it not worth the effort to issue the cards. I still have my card somewhere.

I don't think it was the RO's that would have done the checking. It would have been handled by full time Dept. personnel.

The RO's that were working there were some great guys.

After all that a TPSO range they know were to come

Three post and you are already full of crap.


Great job.

No kidding, Art. Interesting. What year was that and who was the sheriff? You ended up with a collectible

Personally, another NCIS check doesn't bother me much, but my head is thick enough I don't need tinfoil

FWIW, I spend enough time at the New Iberia Sheriff's range that I've been thinking of getting a rubber stamp for the liability release forms to save my writing hand

Be careful, I also heard after you are done shooting, they pick up any brass you may have missed and dust it for prints and run it through IBIS.

Doesn't work with us hardcore USPSA weanies...we not only collect all our brass but snag everything else on the ground within reach

I know at the old Iberville range, you had to show an ID that proved you lived in the Parish, thats all. Sheriff just wanted to make sure he was only helping possible voters.

There is no gun or gun owner registration in New Orleans or the State of La. Your friend has been watching too many reruns of Law & Order.

Yup, no paperwork involved...just knock on every occupied door and ask if they had any guns. If the answer was yes, well, you know the rest.
