I see nothing in the law that would penalize the shooter for violating this section. The club might face sanctions from the issuing authority.Such club shall not permit shooting at targets that depict human figures, human effigies, human silhouettes or any human images thereof, except by public safety personnel performing in line with their official duties.
Q for you all now the paper says that Worc. is looking at approving a ordiance to not let unlic. people fire guns.
The advantage of a club having a license is the ability of the club to own and store firearms. This is helpful when providing training- it relieves the burden of an individual to own/store the firearms for a class. One of the clubs I belong to has a club license now.
Question is, does MGLs even prohibit doing that -without- a said
license? EG, if the individuals storing and retrieving the guns are all
licensed, I don't see why there is any kind of a special
requirement. Maybe I'm missing something there... I know in
some cases Clubs may have a Type 01 FFL, for various reasons, but that's
a whole other tangent.

Mike- I'm no expert, nor did I question the sr. instructors on this. However, it was presented to me that since the club has a license- the club actually owns the firearms. Previously one of the instructors had the guns in his name and was responsible for them... and didn't want to leave them at the club.
