Is Public access to Military ranges in Hawaii allowed? The general public civilians. According to 10 USC 4309 (this federal-range access law) Anyone has access to Federal RIFLE ranges.(not Pistol) "People who contact local federal ranges would be wise perhaps to expect some resistance, dodging, denials, footdragging and even bad attitude, but the law is the law." |
You might get access, but not authorization to shoot. Post policy dictates what you need for range control, and if the range control guys dont wanna come out then you wont be shooting on post. The law doesnt require them to cater to the public, it just means that you can rightfully step foot on the range. |
I
You will need a DoD ID to shoot there, and/or membership to an approved shooting organization. Military bases are on high alert these days, dont test them. IM/Email many of us In Hawaii on this formum if you need further info. |
To be honest, no. I know of no legal public target shooting areas on Oahu other then Koko Head Range. Yes it fucking sucks, yet the state laws are in place. |
| I stopped by the Big Island Gun Club a few weeks ago and watched a highpower match. It is a nice range and the shooters were all very friendly. I also had a long talk with the club president and he is a great guy. The range in located off Hwy 11 in the Glenwood area. Membership is $65 a year or $35 if you participate in a work party. If you're on the Big Island this place is worth checking out. |
