Handgun caliber carbine on a pistol only range?

[wolfprime]

I would never do so without expression permission from the range operators, but is there any technical reason why one should be banned from firing something like the Kel-Tec Sub2k in .40S&W on a pistol and .22 rifle only range?

I belong to Mystic Valley Gun Club and it's a pistol and .22 rifle only range. I'm wondering if there is an argument to be made about handgun caliber carbines, or if the added barrel length is too much for the backstop. Or perhaps there is something else I'm missing.

The significantly longer barrel of the carbine allows the cartridge to produce higher velocities than you'll get from a handgun. That may or may not be a reason to preclude their use on the range. Depends on the gun; depends on the cartridge load; depends on the range.
