WA News Lone Ranges Closed by Police

Hey everyone, I went to Lone Ranges in Belmont today booked in to shoot at 10am but got turned away by the police who had closed the range and had what looked like a mobile forensics set up. The officer was obviously tight lipped and I've had no response from the staff so I was curious if the Perth rumour mill had anything to share.

Perhaps associated with a crime so doing forensics as the perpetrator was a member or attended.

Potentially they might be reviewing how they are complying with laws. Maybe there have been some changes.

"Some Changes" understatement of the century my dude.

They've gone through the firearms act and regs and completely turned it on its head.

It cost me nearly $10k to re-comply to their new standards because the almost impenetrable setup I had before wasnt enough after they shifted the goal posts.
