No enforcement value, but it does give some guidance to the courts. The states that have closed stores and ranges down have had an important plank of their platform removed. It'll be interesting to see what Gov. Hogan does with this new information.
I salute the POTUS!

Stop Negassing me!!!!!
Both the Izaak Walton League in Clear Spring and North American Rod and Gun in Hagerstown have been open the whole time. I've gone twice in the last week.
My Frederick ranges were open too. Haven't had time to go. Maybe next weekend if the wife is off from work.

"Mebbe Joe Biden will tell us all to buy a shotgun again, to keep the British from quartering troops in our homes, like happened when he was a child, already protecting his community from Corn Pops gang - who were a bunch of Republicans standing in front of schoolhouses to keep the Irish out of the pool halls."
Ha! What a portrayal of the story teller, 6-pack Joe!! Thanks!!!

Don't laugh but I used to pick up his Uncles newspaper out front and put it on his stoop...his Nephew is ready to betray democracy ...boy some of the changes he's like a money hound Chameleon now. Will the real Joe Biden stand up or stand down? The vote will dictate that, but this impending landslide tilting the way of Pres. Trump...will indeed have this conservative Dem laughing at the end result. Finally round two of a real President.
Were registered Dems, were conservatives and we vote! Remember that Hillary!

Per Hogan's order, indoor gun ranges are considered entertainment & as such pay an entertainment tax. They are closed to the public like restaurants & movie theaters. Freestate's range & Continental's are closed, but their retail areas are open. Guntry Club is completely closed.
OMG thank you
****Our local IWLA-WAC chapter is closed as well.
Frederick's is currently remaining open, but there is a discussion of how to improve safety. The clubhouse will be closed (and otherwise only accessible with permission). And the number of people using the range, which is typically lightly used, will be regulated to ensure social distancing.
There are other safe practices being discussed. The range is also on video surveillance.
In part, we want to ensure that folks who might have recently replaced their home defense firearm or are training a family member in its use have access to use the facility for this training.

I do use the range.Both outdoor ranges at Loudoun IWLA have been closed for weeks. Kinda crazy since every other lane is six feet distance and they simply could have said "odd number lanes only," people would be making their own risk decisions, and no one would be forced to be there since no employees are assigned as range officers.
I think they made the decision based on money. The dues were not reduced or prorated, but classes renting space are extra money, and since they were not making extra money they saw no downside in closing.
I don't want to give the people on the committee that made that decision a hard time, the rules committee people are volunteers and this is a unique event, but at least three paid activities I engage in, for example the gym I belong to, are prorating, to no or nominal cost, the prepaid dues during period of suspension of operations.
