Sweet & sour experience for me. Staff was kind of dry. They weren't jerks, but they weren't really nice either. They were just there. Funny way to be if you're dealing with the public? I did like the fact there was little interference from staff while you are shooting. I'm a very experienced shooter and I have a tendency to get very annoyed when range people are constantly over my shoulder. Absolutely, verify the people who are shooting on your line are doing so in a safe manner. I totally get that, just don't hover. That is the reason I stopped going Hernando sportsman's club years ago. They hover there and almost make you make a mistake by their behavior. This is not only my opinion, it is also the opinion of many others I know who also stopped going there for this reason. G & P on the other hand isn't at all like that and I appreciate that. The thing that really bothers me the most is the fact free range time is offered to patrol deputies and police officers. I am in no way hating on street cops. The issue I have is, I am a detention deputy. Dual certified in law enforcement with an active certification from my agency. I have Been dealing with the lowest of the low for over twenty years. I've had more death threats than I can remember. The fellow from G&P I talked to basically told me I don't carry a gun for a living (which I do, all the time), so I don't need to practice as much as a "real cop." Now don't get me wrong, I don't want anything for free. I actually get very uncomfortable when I'm offered special treatment for what I do for a living. I've taken very little in more than twenty years of service. It's not that, at all. Bottom line my feelings were hurt. This was also done in front of my OLDER brother who was visiting from out of town, embarrassing me a little. It is unlikely I will ever return to this place if that's the way they really feel about corrections/detention! I also suggest my brothers & sisters who share my profession do the same. Btw, I have nothing but the utmost respect for street cops. I attempted it long ago and it wasn't a good fit for me. I've talked to many street cops who said they couldn't/wouldn't do my job either. I in no way discount the danger of being a street cop. People are crazy now and there are a lot of guns on the street. The likelihood of a street cop getting into a shootout or being outright gunned down while eating their lunch is much higher than mine. But, the sheriff I work for does authorize detention to qualify and carry to & from work for a reason. Not to mention there are assignments where detention carries a sidearm all the time. The fellow I talked to didn't want to hear it. So my search for a close by shooting range goes on. And as far as you road guys go, at least they respect you and don't want you guys/gals to get hurt. That at least makes me feel a little better. read more
