I can take it. I hear worse in a course of a work day. Just trying to find someplace to shoot besides my station.
And when it comes to gun stuff, police are special since we are exempt from some rules a regular citizen has to follow. So

Tyngsboro and Lowell Sportsmens Clubs do not have a capacity limit to my knowledge. Definitely not an enforced one anyhow. I would think the clubs rules are the clubs rules as it may play into their insurance policies. They may not enforce the rules as the clubs I shoot at tend not to enforce many of their rules but just ask your club. I don't think there would be any way of anyone giving a blanket answer that yes/no special privileges are given to LEO regarding magazine capacity or round limits at any and all clubs. Just ask before you join the club or if already a member talk to an RSO.

Right, cause your not a regular citizen. You are special. You are an expert and therefore, not prone to the laws you enforce.
Be nice. He didn't make the rule that says he can break the laws applicable to us ord'nary folk. He just plays by it and I would too and actually do because I have LEO Friends and family so I get all their cool guns they decide to sell before they ever hit the market so
~~~~ back at ya.
Come on. Leo's didn't write the exceptions and they take advantage of it the same way you would if they made your profession except. I can't speak for all and I know I don't but I would never enforce any of the ridiculous laws like magazine capacities. Every officer has his own discretion. I use mine all the time and also try to push new officers to think with their head. The main thing I hate about our profession is all of the hypocrites.
In before this thread gets cuffed and stuffed.

I was at a range once, doing some holster work with a good friend, and we were shooting at a pretty good clip, but nothing outrageous. A fudd comes running out and says you better be cops shooting like that! (My friend works for town PD, and they let them use range) I said, we are cops, but we aren't doing anything unsafe that anyone else shouldn't be able to do. He didn't like that, and told my buddy not to bring me back. Rofl

Different clubs have different rules (for all). Braintree R&P and Mansfield F&G both allow any mag size. As for speed dumps, our CRO at BR&P told us (ROs) that if the person is keeping them on-target let them be, if they are spraying all over the place, slow them down. BR&P is paper targets only at fixed distances only, no holster work. That's why I also belong to MF&G . . . we can do all that and shoot steel as well.
Location (area) would help as others can fill in what's acceptable in your area.

Actually as far as I'm concerned any LEO that wants to improve his firearm skills is great,
After what happened in NYC last year it Just protects the rest of us from stray panic rounds.
Of course they should have standard capacity magazines, and so should we.
Harvard sportsmans club is a great range and doesn't have any FUDD rules

BR&P also 'recommends' that you do not load more than 10 rounds. I cannot remember the name of the mustached man with glasses who was reading the rules at orientation, but, it sounds like a rule that is only enforced by ROs when someone is mag dumping and being irresponsible, as confirmed by your post above.

You are correct. It is a rule on the books and ignored as long as shooters are acting responsibly. I usually fill my mags, whether it be pre-ban AR mags or pre-ban pistol mags.

I would say that not a lot have that sort of rule, and most that do do not have an exception for LEOs.
