    Can confirm, my wife has expressed an interest. We’re just waiting for the local LGBTQ friendly range to open.

    The other local ranges are either run by cops (ACAB) or require NRA memberships to join. Yeah, that’s not happening.

      Sometimes you have to open the gun range you wish to see in your neighborhood.

      Or something like that. I think Gandhi said it.

        The one we’re waiting on is called Wooster Armory in Tigard/Beaverton. Kinda by Washington Square, by the Guitar Center. The gunshop is open, but it looks like they’re having trouble getting the range open. I’m going to pop in and say “Hi!” today and see what the deal is.

        Threat Dynamics in Sherwood is good too, I did my AR training there.

        Edit Wooster is now saying January for members, February for the public.

            Not trying to belabor the point or anything, but with some planning you can make it regimented. I’m in northern CA, and been taking small groups out to a local BLM spot on the weekends. A big reason is to avoid the chuddy vibes at local ranges. We bring targets, do some instruction and have clear guidelines. We measure distances and we clean up our brass.
