Boxes to Soldiers

Range USA, Inc. is sending Boxes to Soldiers

Christmas is soon approaching and we at Range USA, Inc. want to let our soldiers know how much we appreciate them for their service. We have one of our own serving in Afghanistan this Holiday Season and we would like to send every man in his unit a care package for Christmas.

From November 1st through November 15th, anyone bringing a minimum of 5 items from the recommended list (in a gallon zip lock bag) to put in care packages will receive a FREE Lane Rental. Help us fill these boxes, with not only store bought items, but with hand written letters and cards with your expressions of thankfulness.

Please help us fill these boxes by telling your family, friends, Church groups, and people you work with.

You can drop off your items at both Range USA, Inc. locations, Memphis and Jackson, and receive a FREE lane pass card, good for up to two people on a lane for an hour, an $18.00 value.

Thank you for your support and remember to thank a vet.

"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.

Range USA of Jackson

The Range USA of Jackson website is up and running. There is some content that still needs updated, but the basics are there! The URL is www.rangeusa.com/jackson. You can easily "toggle" back and forth between both sites. Also, be sure to sign up on the Jackson site if you want to receive the Range USA of Jackson newsletter, Veritas!. And, don't forget to "Like" the Range USA of Jackson Facebook page! There is a lot going on in Jackson and you might want to keep informed about it. There is also a possibility of getting a group together for a trip to Jackson to shoot rifles and have dinner. And, if there is enough interest in these trips, we will plan on making it a recurring event!

Pray for our Country

If you don't already make it a habit and if it's not a part of your daily prayer life, I beg you to pray for our country, her leaders and her servicemen every single day! But more importantly, pray that revival will sweep across America. This world is changing. Our country is changing. If we don't get back to the basics and remember what made America great, I fear that our days are numbered. One thing is for sure - if we continue on the path we are on, there won't be an America that any of us recognize in ten more years! But, contrary to popular belief, the school house, the state house, or the White House isn't the answer out of the hopelessness we have found ourselves in. America needs to get back to God! America needs revival! Pray that it happens - for your sake, for your children's sake, for the world's sake!
