Delaware Open Carry

So yeah, maybe it's exclusive. Maybe it's a long wait. Maybe it's expensive. The dues are $250 a year, initiation is $500. Now I don't know about you, but I don't know where the hell else a common joe like me could get a key which grants 24/7/365 access to a 200+ acre farm for $250 a year. For me it is unquestionably the best $250 I spend every year and I leap at the chance. Hell, people spend thousands a year on guns and only shoot them in a concrete tunnel.

We spend an extra hundred dollars a year more on our memberships, than BR&G and still have to deal with wanna be thugs who want to see 'who be Betta wid a gat' (yes, someone actually said that.) I'm also willing to bet that in the parking lot of BR&G no one is going to stalk me and ask if I will go buy them .25 ammo.

I'd be interested in checking it out at some point.

Afaik, there are no similar clubs in NCC from a range facility standpoint. The closest would probably be Atglen, Pennsylvania or Bridgeville, De. (both of which offer longer ranges as well.)

I think DSPC has some type of agreement with the National Guard range on route 9 near Ommelanden, but I've never confirmed that.

From a club structure and sparsity of rules standpoint I'm not aware of any club in Delaware which is similar.

Thanks Tony, my question was not clear. I meant a club with limited membership, premium membership, like Brandyine.

Thanks, Boots!

Ready to go shooting?

Yes!

Seems ok. I must say the $500 initiation seems a bit much but each club can make their own rules. it has great features.

I am a member of targetmaster and have been pretty happy. I have only had a couple incidents with morons but not directly. I OC on the range all the time

I am not aware of any. Doesn't mean one doesn't exist though.

Anytime, Amy. It'll be nice to meet you and Matt in person. If weekends are a problem let me know and I'll burn a vacation day. I do so often anyway.

I've wanted to get Ted down there so he could enjoy some time in that setting, but I guess it will keep until he's feeling well enough to travel by car.

Matt and I would love that! Saturdays are more suspect, as I frequently have to work them, but Sundays are more likely to be open. Of course if you're looking for an excuse to take a day off, we are just happy to visit.

I'm sure Ted would also be honored at your invitation.

Hey, Tony...got some .308 ammo loaded finally...know what that means.

Remmi vs Savage! Start at 100 and end up at 200 maybe?

I also loaded up some .40, all I had bullets for...just need some cash for more, lol. Have a few hundred cases primed and ready, a few hundred more that just need to be tumbled and primed.

By this weekend I should have roughly a few hundred rounds of .223 loaded and ready. My platform is functioning flawlessly (knock on wood). My brother is just waiting on a rear sight and flash hider and his will be complete as well. Then we just need to fine tune his gas block.

I'd have to have a lot more time on my hands to enjoy the money spent on such a range. I do think, however, that the range could benefit by creeping in a few more people each year who have very good references. (*cough*DELOC*cough*)
