Guests who do not have an LTC will need to have an instructor present and the fee will be $120 since the instructor will need to be present the whole time.
- Members are not allowed to instruct anyone at BGRA, no exceptions. LTC and Non-LTC guests must be screened and advance reservations are required to ensure club compliance.
- Members may draw from a holster with the condition that they lift up the shooting booth table and step into the center of the booth. Great caution must be taken to ensure safety!

- Firearms must be in a case or holster when entering the club. Un-holstering or removing firearms from a case must be done in a shooting booth.
