No AR's at the Range...RATs!

[TexGun]

OK, gotta vent...  I went to the local Bass Pro this afternoon, i had some time between some family functions and thought I could squeeze in sighting in the new red-dot I just put on my AR.  Much to my surprise, they will only let you use the rifle tube to sight in a AR if it has a "regular scope" on it.    

Needless to say... I was p__sed!!

Was that the one in Grapevine?

[TexGun]

Yup!

That'll ruin a perfectly good venting exercise. I just use the .22 conversion for my Bushmaster shorty carbine. The range don't mind that. It's also deadly accurate.

I'm not very familier with ARs and red dot sights but why would the rules be different for a red dot mounted AR? It sounds ridiculous.

They may be worried about a reputation developing (via the media of course) if a guy sights in his "evil black rifle" with its "evil red dot scope" at their range and he goes out on a shooting spree in a mall.  Guess they feel the AR is not sporting gun like a bolt action or a 28" barrel shotgun.
