I Agree DGM policy on CA “Assault Weapons” and other restricted firearms on DGM ranges. DGM’s customers include civilians, law enforcement professionals and military service members. We realize that a large part of our clientele have firearms that in CA are required to be registered as assault weapons. We welcome you to shoot your legal firearms on our ranges, even firearms that need to be registered as AWs without presenting your registration. However, if you have an obviously restricted firearm such as a short-barreled rifle or shotgun, machinegun, or silenced firearm, be prepared to show L.E. credentials or licenses for those items to either DGM staff or any L.E. Officers who may be present on the range if asked. All range users need to complete the rental section even if you are not renting one today. FIREARM RENTALS If I rent a firearm, I agree to the following terms: - I agree to inform the DGM Range personnel at the time of rental if I have never fired a firearm before today.
I Agree - I have no questions regarding the DGM Range Rules.
I Agree - I will not leave the range sign-in counter until such time as I fully have been instructed in the proper loading, unloading and safety function of any rental firearm.
I Agree - I understand that I may only shoot ammunition in this rental firearm that has been purchased from DGM specifically for this firearm.
I Agree - I understand that if the firearm malfunctions, I must set the firearm down and call the Range Safety Officer.
I Agree - I understand that this firearm may fire any cartridge remaining in the chamber even if the magazine is removed.
I Agree - I agree to not let any other person handle or fire this firearm rental without range personnel approval in advance.
I Agree
