So I finally made it to the Blu Core shooting range on the corner of Wadsworth and Jewell. That's the one that used to be Lakewood Family, and K2 before that.
There are signs all over the parking lot and outside of the building that say ALL GUNS BROUGHT INTO THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED IN A CASE. Now I can almost understand this safety precaution. I'm not sure I would like to have everyone walking into my store with an AR in thier hands and not know how to practice good muzzle control.
My rifle was on a sling, over my shoulder. I didn't bring a case. I went to the door anyway. When I opened the door they assured me that I must trun around and not be allowed in unless it was cased. When I explained that I didn't have one, they said they would be happy to sell me one.
Then they said that even the handgun on my hip would have to be unloaded and cased. I wanted to be clear about their requirements, so I clarified, "A holster doesn't count as a case?" "No, it does not." Then he said, "We even require our concealed carrier customers to unload and case before they come in. Otherwise I'd have to draw down on everyone that walked in the door."
So, I can't give you a review of thier range. I left without using it. I have no idea how thier prices stack up against other shops, I never saw any of them. I can't tell you what products they sell there. I left.
I have called them to confirm that they will not allow individuals the right to defend themselves while on thier property. They were very polite about it on the phone but yes that is the policy. You can contact them yourself as well.
