Wtf? I’ve never in my life seen a range that bans FMJ, indoor or outdoor, and I live in fucking Chicago where you have to leave city limits to go to the range. What is Texas doing?
I’m not a big gun head so i might be wrong. But part of the ammo restrictions might be due to a combo of liabilty issues without regulation being placed on the buildings or zoning.
The indoor ranges are probably super cheaply constructed like literally every building in Texas. Instead of spending money making a range that you could fire whatever anmo you want, they cut corners and pass on the restriction to the consoooomers - exactly the kind of libertarian bullshit they should love. Like all libertarian bullshit, it helps the owners not consumers.
Libertarians always assume the market will demand what they want as a consooooomer instead of what the peoole who own the market share want.
But he says that outdoor ranges ban FMJ. You just shoot into a berm of dirt, it doesn’t matter what the bullet is. Either the poster genuinely misunderstands the rules or there are never-before-seen insane levels of fuddery going on.
Note that hollow point ammo is not the same thing as frangible ammo. It just kinda mushrooms when it hits a soft target to cause more damage. Probably penetrates slightly worse than FMJ but it still goes through normal walls. I struggle to imagine an indoor range that could withstand JHP but not FMJ without placing everyone outside in mortal danger
Ah i see. That makes sense. Probably some other sort of bullshit readins then. It is true that they do that at indoor ranges in Texas at least everywhere i lived. Not sure about the outdoor ones because i never looked into it, but indoor ranges in Austin and Houston were very restrictive on ammo.
I don’t know why it is, but I’m sure whatever it is benefits the owners in some way or other lol
maybe Texas indoor ranges are all using cheap ass vertical bullet traps? I’ve only ever seen helical ones here. (that doesn’t explain JHP only outdoor ranges though)
I think the issue with the indoor ranges is steel jacketed bullets rather than just fmj ammo. I guess it might be a fire(steel sparks)/lead disposal issue.
A lot of people with guns and land usually have their own range in Texas at least the rich do. The people who aren’t as rich but use guns usually have a hunting lease that doesn’t care what they’re shooting so they’ll set up their own range there. I’ve shot plenty of guns in my life but I’ve never been to a range
I have noticed that although we have 162 Chicago hexbears, I am not receiving 161 upbears on my /c/chicago posts. I’m not sure if this is being done intentionally or if these “friends” are forgetting to click ‘upbear’. Either way, I’ve had enough. I have compiled a spreadsheet of individuals who have “forgotten” to upbear my most recent posts. After 2 consecutive strikes your name is automatically highlighted (shown in red) and I am immediately notified. 3 consecutive strikes and you can expect an in-person “consultation.” Think about your actions.

If theres a cheap, corner cutting way of doing business, everyone in Texas is doing it. Bonus points if it could cause harm to others.
Yeah the outdoor ranges don’t really make sense, and i don’t really know if they by and large have those restrictions or not.
