Before You Visit Us...
Before visiting the Linden Gun Range, we kindly ask all patrons to take a few moments to review the important information below. This page outlines our public range rules, safety expectations, and what to expect during your visit.
Taking the time to review this information helps ensure a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience for everyone on the range. We truly appreciate your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you.

​Multiple Firearms in One Case
​
Guests may transport two unloaded firearms in a single case. While not required, it is common to position firearms with their muzzles pointing in opposite directions.
When positioned this way:

Remove the first firearm.

Close the case, rotate it, then reopen to remove the second firearm with the muzzle downrange.
Re-casing follows the same process in reverse.

UNIVERSAL FIREARMS SAFETY RULES
The Four Rules of Firearms Safety
There’s no getting around it — these are the Four Rules that everything else is built on.
They’re universal. No matter where you are, what kind of firearm you’re handling, or how experienced you are, these rules always apply.
​
You’ll hear them from a Range Safety Officer on the Public Line, on the first day of a class, at every course, and likely again at your tenth match or your hundredth day on the range.
Why?
​
Because they work — and because they never stop mattering.
Before visiting your local range, we encourage you to slide through the Four Rules below to refresh your safety mindset. A quick review helps ensure you arrive focused, prepared, and aligned with the safety standards that keep everyone on the range safe.
