Effective 01/14/2008 Handgunners Inc. Indoor Shooting and Training Facility of Burlington, NC will change our method of operation.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
The following operational changes have been brought about due to the increase in violent crimes, gang activity with threats, and securing our range against the criminal element. We have seen an influx of people, who are not in our country legally or not a United States Citizen, attempt to come into our facility desiring to rent guns, attempt to purchase a firearm, bring in their firearm wanting to shoot on the range, or register into one of our classes. Also, a number of people who are of the criminal element who cannot legally possess a firearm under Federal or North Carolina Firearms Laws have attempted to come into our facility and attempt to rent guns and utilize the range. The North Carolina Judicial System and the Federal Government are not even slowing these problems down let alone stopping them. We intend to stop it at the front door. Having a safe and controlled shooting environment and taking these extra measures with added security for the law abiding citizens is safer and more important to us. Based on our years of experience working in law enforcement and our years of experience handling and instructing classes on firearms, a line has been drawn here with a high standard of safety along with the safe regard and well being for others at this facility.
Anyone who feels they cannot meet and maintain this standard needs to go no further.
The retail section of our facility will continue to operate as it is now open to the general public requiring any and all people including Law Enforcement to observe the sign posted on the front door directing everyone wishing to enter to closely and thoroughly read the yellow posters which are posted on the wall at the front entrance.
THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS ON THIS. ANYONE WHO CHOOSES NOT TO TAKE THE TIME AND HAVE THE PATIENCE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND OR LIGHTLY SCAN THROUGH THIS POSTED INFORMATION WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INSIDE. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
The front entrance door is equipped with an electric lock.
Time is needed for you to be properly identified.
