Prohibited Persons

At Bel Air Gun Range, we want everyone’s experience to be a pleasant one. We want everyone to be aware that handling firearms is an activity reserved only for persons who are not prohibited from posessing a firearm.
If you cannot purchase a handgun or obtain a handgun qualification license legally, you may not rent or fire a handgun legally.
Our range is monitored by local law enforcement, the ATF, and the FBI. Waivers are legal documents, and completion of one is a legal affirmation that you are not a prohibited person. Waivers signed untruthfully are taken very seriously by law enforcement.
Please do not attempt to shoot on our range if you are prohibited, as it will result in more legal troubles for you.
If you are in doubt, consult an attorney, or consult the following website: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/how-to/identify-prohibited-persons.html
We are committed to a fun, enjoyable, and most importantly, safe experience for all who use our range.
If you have any doubts at all:
STOP – and consult a legal professional.
