Of course, the department of justice clearance must be obtained for the purchase of the gun to be completed. I find that the prices are reasonable and I could ask any questions on the process, making it an ideal spot for first time gone purchasers. You can buy your ammo here as well and do the gun demonstration in person. There's a variety of options for consumers that are more experienced. There is a gun range in Santa Maria that you can use to practice be warned that they are free and so you must purchase that ammo for the practice from the gun club.

Not just the government that screws the gun owners of CA over. I've been going to the Outdoorsman…read morefor the past 15 years over that course of time where several owners have owned it. The current owner clearly wants to take advantage by charging $25 just to hand someone the ammo they ordered. Bad enough the government makes us ship ammo to the gun shop, but when the shop owner is just as bad as the government with its excess fees for just wanting to utilize a constitutional right afforded to us by the constitution. I'll never buy so much as a key chain from these crooks. Some dufus behind the counter had the nerve to say he didn't think they were taking advantage of the gun owners.

The V.A.F.B. Rod and Gun Club / AKA as the New (Space Force) for the U.S. Air Force is an amazing…read moreplace to go practice your Firearms skills. They feature the "Best" outdoor hand gun and rifle Range in Santa Barbara County and beyond. The reason I say this is because of the way it is set up and maintained. They also sell ammunition and some popular shooting accessories in their store to members and have a great inventory of different calibers when available. I was surprised to learn they also offer a " in house" firearm rental / daily use option for those interested in trying out something other than what you have to shoot. Ask them for what is available to use and rent out for that day at the range. Best of all, the annual Membership fee offered for (those personnel with Base ID card access) Military and Civilian is still very reasonable and worth the investment. The annual Membership fee always pays for itself in a just a few visits. Set rules and safety guidelines make it a place that you feel safe to take your personally owned firearms to a secure environment not like other very limited shooting ranges that are on public land. The staff at the check-in office are more than friendly and very knowledgeable. It is good to know that the place is run by "professionals" and not those pretending to know it all. You get my point here. Most importantly, I recommend you call their office staff in advance prior to heading out because the increased weekly or monthly Base Rocket Launches do effect their operating hours and days of operation for access. Knowing the Base procedures to get to the Range is important so keeping up with any newest changes will save you allot of time and hassle. A Safety and Security Note: Be reminded that all Base access rules can change frequently without notice in order to support all of the the Base Mission priorities. Before entering the Base, be sure to check all current Federal and California laws concerning the transportation of Guns and ammunition in vehicles. Ensuring that all of your firearms are fully un-loaded / locked in a case or container and all ammunition and your empty "detachable" magazines are safely / locked and stored "separately" from your firearm(s) aboard your vehicle BEFORE heading out and entering the Base entrance. Most importantly: Remember to ALWAYS verbally mention your intended Range visit at the gate and to claim and declare your firearms are SECURE and aboard your vehicle to all Base Security Personnel upon first arrival at the gate. Ensuring, for a smooth and non eventful Range visit and experience. I have been a active member of this Range now for several years. I have had no issues or regrets whatsoever :) . I always have a great time practicing my shooting skills there. I have some really good memories of some Great Shooting events over there. My "5" Star plus rating goes out to them for sure. Thanks, V.A.F.B. Rod and gun Club for offering your services to all Members and future Guests. ")
