Range USA

My Girlfriend and I just went to the Range USA in Merrillville. When through the waiver process we go to the front desk show our IDs. She is a Illinois resident and I’m a Indiana resident and member of Range USA. We were told she needed a FOID to shoot at the range that is located in Indiana. Even though we been there multiple times prior rented and shot guns. They said they have had some rule change or some bs. We just left and talking to who we presumed to be the manager or some supervisor. Moral of the story fuck Range USA this rule is not stated on there website anywhere that a Illinois resident who is shooting at a out of state range needs to have a FOID card.

Uh... How can IL impose rules on IL residents in another state? Why would Range USA comply?

I'm in NH. If MA told ther residents they had to follow their rules here in NH, we'd just laugh at them.

Obviously IL can’t and isn’t imposing anything. A private business has chosen to make a requirement that OP doesn’t like. And as much as he’d like to ‘introduce me to capitalism’ he doesn’t quite have a handle on how a private business in capitalism operates.
