I don't know enough to organize such a thing, but would gladly attend so
long as not scheduled at a conflicting time. (I can't ever make regular
gatherings due to band practice on Thursdays:-( )

Idea: one has to pay to use these facilities, correct? And pay to rent a
gun? (rent a gun - can you do such a thing? Or would the well-armed have
to bring extra for the unarmed?) Well, do any of them offer group
discounts? If someone could post costs, hours, and restrictions (if any)
for each location to the list, we could all choose together.

:-)

Looks like there is a lot of interest in such a gathering. Who wants to
put it together?
