Did my 30 in New Orleans. When I do my 30 here, then the 4 year drop, I will be 99 and will probably hang it up then. Having too much fun to leave before then.

Sunday night is my last day of work. I retire March 3rd, over 41 years in the refinery business with two plants and 5 owners. Will be at Nick's shooting every day now.

I thought the drop was 3 years.

I thought the drop was 3 years.

NOPD drop was 3 years. Sheriff's Office drop is 4 years. Two totally different retirement systems.

Sorry I didn't make that clear. Anyone over 21 can attend regardless of what Parish you reside in. As stated earlier, no pre-registration, just show up with your pistol, 36 rounds of ammo, and $100 cash. If you need better directions to the Range, let me know.

No that is where I got mine and I’m in St. Charles parish. Some coworkers also got theirs there and from Jefferson parish.

 

[La26]

Yes it is open to everyone. Bring a friend !! Lt. Brooks is an entertaining and knowledgeable Instructor. You will enjoy the class. He will give you all the paperwork you need to apply and quickly receive your CCL. I would suggest getting it done if you have ever considered it. No telling what the current Administration has planned for gun owners and the 2A. Plenty of rumors, nothing sounds good.

Is there a rifle range and if so what distance?

Is there a rifle range and if so what distance?

Yes, the rifle range is 100 yards. There are 5 concrete benches to shoot from, and the shooting positions are covered. Range (distance) markers every 25 yards to 100. We do have a spotting scope, and a sled (cradle) if you prefer not to use our sandbags.

fireitup, I see you are in New Orleans. Our Range is open only to St. James Parish residents. If you are out this way, Nick's shooting Range in Garyville on Hwy 61 is open to the public for a nominal fee. He too has a 100 yard range with concrete shooting benches. He used to be closed on Tuesdays (the local Sheriff's Office used to use it for qualifications on Tuesdays). Give him a call to see what his hours are now. (985) 535-8161

 

[La26]

Our next Concealed Carry Class is Saturday April 24th. Starts at 12:00 (lasts about 4 hours). No pre-registration required, just show up with your handgun, 36 rounds of ammo, and $100 (cash only). If you need further info, contact Lt. Keith Brooks at 225-562-2571 8am-4pm

Once again, open to everyone over 21, regardless of Parish of residence.
