Range USA of Memphis - October 2012 Newsletter

Zombie Night 4, October 26 & 27, 6:00pm-9:00pm - this is our annual zombie night event. Memphis, and specifically, Range USA, is the last stand in America that hasn't been infected by the zombie virus. You and your friends are the only thing standing between the advancing horde and what's left of civilization. We've changed things up a bit to ensure the best Zombie Night Event yet! Come out, pick up a weapon and shoot some zombies! Tickets on sale now ($15.00)!

10 Year Anniversary, November 3, 10:00am until dark - because of the greatest customers ever, we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary! We are so thankful and humbled at the fact that so many of you support Range USA! We will have FREE food, inflatables, a petting zoo, a dunk tank, live music, manufacturers will be on site, and we will offer great discounts on classes, memberships and merchandise! Tickets not required!

Election Night Extravaganza, November 6, 7:00pm-11:00pm- the party that only comes around every 4 years! And, regardless of which side you are on, you can't deny the fact that this is the most important election any of us have ever seen! Come out for a great night at the range. There will be free lane rentals, plenty of free food and drinks, games, prizes, and all the election night discussion you could ever want! The event will end around 11:00; hopefully there will be a decision by then. Beginning at 7:00pm, tickets are required. Tickets on sale now ($20.00)!

Zombie Night 4 - VIP "Pre-Event" Event

Can't get enough of killing zombies? Neither can we.

That's why we have a special event planned in preparation of our annual Zombie Night where you Zombie Killers out there, who just can't get enough on the 2 nights of Zombie Night, can kill in new ways. We all know the living dead are dumb, but the pesky problem of gunshot noises drawing more of them in than you can handle is a daunting problem. Because of this we have several suppressors coming for the pre event only for the use of V.I.P.'s.

The event will allow you to shoot a suppressed full auto H&K MP5SD as well as a short barreled AR-15, suppressed. We supply a full magazine for the MP5SD and a handful of rounds for the AR and let you blast away the zombie hordes quietly.

Not exciting enough? We are going to have some reactive targets for your shooting pleasure also.

How do you become a V.I.P?

$30.00 gets you into this exciting event (we normally charge $50.00 for the use of a full auto and that doesn't come with ammo!).
Buy a Zombie Night ticket at the same time as your V.I.P. ticket and we'll take $5.00 off.
Like us on Facebook and keep an eye out for special deals also.

Be here Friday the 19th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to let the fun begin!

Zombie Night 4 - Video Came Competition

Like shooting zombies? How about shooting in video games? Range USA will be hosting a Video Game competition in October where you can let the video game guru inside you come out, with a chance to win special gear! The date is to be announced via our facebook page and website so keep an eye on those. If you have any direct questions, forward them to Billy Earnheart at billy.earnheart@rangeusa.com, and until then, let the games begin!

"Member Only Hour" Announcement

ATTENTION RANGE USA MEMBERS: Announcing our "Member Only Hour".

Range USA Members (Recruit, Minute Man, Patriot, Founding Father and Lifetime Members) now have the opportunity to reserve lanes on Saturday mornings for one hour, 9am - 10am. (Over time, we may expand the Member Only Hour times) You can reserve your lane weeks in advance. If you need more than one lane, no problem, the member will receive their lane free and will pay regular rates for additional lanes (no discounts on lanes). When making reservations please include number of guests, type of target, and caliber of ammo (if needed). Breakfast will be available for you to purchase, just let us know how many will be eating, (breakfast will be served beginning at 8:30am), there will be FREE Coffee. When you arrive, simply check-in. You will know in advance which lane is yours. On your lane you'll find your target ready and ammo present. During this hour members will be able to fire .223 (our frangible ammo) and shotguns (no more waiting for Tuesday and Saturday evenings). To make your reservation please contact Mike Griffin via his email: mike.griffin@rangeusa.com. This is a "first to reserve" program, by order of email, i.e., if 15 emails are received for the 14 lanes available, the first 14 by date and time will be given the reservations. You will be able to go on a wait list; if a lane becomes available you will be contacted. Members can reserve lanes every other weekend; this will allow more members to have the opportunity to reserve a lane. Space is limited so don't wait or procrastinate!

Mississippi Enhanced Permit

Chip Holland, Range USA Training Director, is certified for the Mississippi Enhanced Permit. And, Paul Brehm, Range USA Instructor, was recently certified to teach it, too.

The Mississippi gun permit does not require any training, because of this, there are very many restrictions on where a permit holder can legally carry.

Mississippi residents can apply for an Enhanced Permit once they have completed required training, OR if they have a current MS permit, they can take the training and get an endorsement on their current permit. Sign up for any permit class Chip Holland is teaching to receive this permit certificate for MS. Either way, the Enhanced Permit allows the permit holder to carry legally in far more places in Mississippi.

With the REGULAR GUN PERMIT it is A CRIME to carry a gun into:

Any police, sheriff, or Highway Patrol station or any prison or jail;

Any courthouse;

Any polling place;

Any public park;

Any school, college, university;

Any school, college, or professional sporting event;

Any establishment that serves liquor as their primary business (bar);

Any church or other place of worship.

With the ENHANCED GUN PERMIT, all of the restrictions ARE REMOVED, except: polling places,

Police, Sheriffs, or Highway Patrol stations, prisons, and jails; and courtrooms where court is in session.
