BC Health Rule for ALL Club Activities

Attention all members: 

To meet BC Health requirements:  
Masks are now mandatory, both indoors and outdoors,
for all club members and activities EXCEPT
when you are in the process of shooting (i.e. on the firing line).

Masks can be lowered or removed when you are on the
concrete pad (or at the firing line) and are in the process of shooting. Masks must be put back on after you are finished shooting, i.e. as soon as you walk off the pad
(or away from the firing line).   

Please provide your own mask.   

Working hard to keep everyone safe!

Your LRGC Board

LRGC New Rules for Indoor Range Effective Saturday Aug 22, 2020
(Rules Revised Monday, Aug 17, 2020)

Dear LRGC Members:

The INDOOR range reopened to shooting on Saturday Aug 15 after a complete renovation / upgrade of our backstop. We now have AR500 armour plate behind the wood target wall. Thanks to all that contributed to this major project! 

BC Health requirements continue to restrict the numbers of shooters in the indoor range.
Social distancing and attention/compliance with COVID-19 infection risk precautions remain the major defense for our members - so please obey the rules (both BC Health and WorksafeBC are monitoring). We have also built and regularly employ a UV-C/Ozone disinfecting system to kill all DNA-based material (which includes the corona virus) after our shooting sessions to further reduce the risk of infection within the indoor range. 

The indoor range rules are continuously being reviewed and modified to try to accommodate our members as best as RCMP and BC Health requirements will allow.  The most recent changes are highlighted in the document provided below, with a summary of the major changes also provided here.  

Shooting will still be by online registration/reservation only and for eligible LRGC members only (no outside guests - except for special events).  You must also have previously signed a Shooter's Agreement and been "checked-out" by a Range Officer prior to reserving a spot. Otherwise you must attend a "New Shooter Orientation Session" prior to registering to shoot. 

Read the rules to find out if you are eligible to reserve a spot! Only the posted sessions at times shown on the club calendar will be held.  (Note: Go to the calendar tab above and then click on the event to register. You must sign-in as a club member to be able to register for a session)

Download LRGC New Rules for the Indoor Range here: 
LRGC New Indoor Range Rules - Revised Aug 23 2020  

The major changes to the Indoor Rules (effective Aug 22 - and highlighted in file) are summarized here:

1) Online registrations can now be paid either online (via PayPal) as previous, or you can select "invoice me" and pay by LRGC shoot card in the range.  You must bring your invoice with you showing paid or unpaid! No cash will be accepted inside the range. Targets and shoot cards are available for purchase from the LRGC office when open. 

2) Session duration has been changed from 1.5 hrs + 15 min. prep time to 1.0 hr + 15 min. prep time.  This is a result of nearly all shooters leaving prior to one hour after starting.  Please note that as a result the session's start and end times have changed! 

3) Junior shooters may attend a shooting session with an adult shooter that resides with them.  

4) You may now register for up to two sessions per week. This is up from the previous one session per week. 

5) "New Shooter Orientation Sessions" are now being scheduled to make our new  members eligible to reserve a spot for indoor shooting. 

If you have questions or concerns - email: planning@lrgc.com 

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation while we tune our system and continually try to enhance its features for the benefit of our members! 

Sincerely, 

Your LRGC Board

 LRGC REVISED New Rules for Outdoor Ranges 
Revised on Thursday, June 25 2020 

Download LRGC REVISED New Outdoor Range Rules here:
LRGC New Outdoor Range Rules - Revised June 25 2020  

Dear club members, 

Well, the outdoor ranges continue to operate with good success.  As such, the Board reassessed the situation - and has implemented some modifications for the outdoor range operations as of -  Thursday, June 25 2020.  These modifications are highlighted in the downloadable file above - and include primarily the following:

1) Permitting LRGC Members and their guests, reciprocal club members and non-member drop-in shooters to attend as of June 25 2020.  A maximum of 50 persons on the property is still a requirement of BC Health.  

2) Increasing Skeet squads from 4 to 5 shooters to allow more shooters onto the range. Social distancing is still required.  

The club is on a Winter Schedule - see times below.  Summer schedule starts April 1. 

The Board will continue to reassess the situation as things change, we learn more and are allowed to loosen restrictions.  

Hope you will enjoy getting back to the outdoor ranges! 

Your LRGC Board

Firearm News - Updated Feb 5 2021

Have you been following the CCFR's efforts on your behalf to counter the Liberal and RCMP Initiatives to BAN your legally-acquired firearms? 

If not, you should be! It is your property - and if they have not gotten to your firearms specifically - it won't be long until they do! They are already banning shotguns, hunting rifles and even simple 22 cal sporting rifles - as the types on the prohibited list which were added after May 1 were numerous (updated continuously with last Update in Oct 2020!). This prohibited list is all but guaranteed to still grow without oversight of any kind.  There is still also the unresolved question if the government intends on ANY compensation for these firearms as the government is showing little interest in resolving this question before the two year period is up! 

Any of your firearms could be on the list (see list) - making you an immediate criminal (as the 2 year amnesty promised by the Liberals does not apply to owners of these added firearms) - and you would not necessarily know it as many were unrestricted previously! (A current CSSA legal opinion is that nearly all 12 gauge removable choked firearms are currently prohibited based on the current legal definition as stated in the OIC!)   

Information on the RCMP website and statements (mostly lies) by Minister Bill Blair change without notice - and without discussion or reason, usually to the deficit of the licensed firearm owner. It is difficult to trust that any statements made (written or verbal) will not change or disappear if the Liberals want them to - so confidence is low with respect to our expectation of government fairness wrt our property or person. The RCMP and Minister Blair have been provided with dictatorial powers by Trudeau's Liberals with the goal of removing all firearms from civilians in the long term. This is evidenced by the types of firearms being listed for prohibition - which has continued to increase after May 1st without legitimate criteria other than to virtue signal to obtain the votes of the uneducated public. 

Check out the excellent videos, podcasts and other educational materials created by the CCFR available at: CCFR YouTube Channel.  You can also obtain updates to the CCFR/Government legal fight on your behalf and other information at this link. 

Here are the YouTube links to the excellent series "Gun Ban Canada - Exposed" which highlight the details of these Liberal initiatives which were falsely promoted as to "enhance public safety", and expose the lies told by the Liberal government which are being used to justify their irresponsible action on May 1, 2020 and beyond to the uninformed Canadian.  It is OUR/YOUR JOB as a firearm owner to share these videos with these uninformed Canadians to educate them. These videos will reveal to them the fallacy being thrust upon all Canadians by this Liberal government. Please do your part!

Currently it is planned that the CCFR will create a 7 or 8-part series, of which 5 are currently available at the links below:  

1) Gun Ban Canada - Exposed; Episode 1 - Is It Really About Public Safety?

2) Gun Ban Canada - Exposed; Episode 2 - Where Do Crime Guns Come From?

3) Gun Ban Canada - Exposed; Episode 3 - Do More Guns Equal More Death?

4) Gun Ban Canada - Exposed; Episode 4 - Common Sense Gun Laws?

5) Gun Ban Canada - Exposed; Episode 5 - Why Would Anyone Need a Gun?

The CCFR is working hard to support you as a responsible firearm owner whom the Liberal government is demonizing. If you are not currently a member - please join, and also support the legal action by donating NOW!.  Go to the CCFR website to signup or donate: CCFR Website
