What’s up with those plastic tags. Are these rentals?

... they're chamber flags to show your firearm is empty.

I know what their function is - doesn’t tell me the story of where this is. I’m guessing these are rentals or a highly regulated shooting range? Never had to use any of those at ranges I’ve been to

Some ranges require chamber flags when the range is cold.

Both ranges I’ve been a member of since I got my RPAL hasn’t required them so it’s interesting to see what other ranges are requiring across Canada.

My local range requires chamber flags when a firearm is uncased and not in use.

Nope. Owned and maintained by me.

Nice. None of the ranges I’ve been a member of in Ontario require them so it’s interesting to see

Im in AB. I think it varies from range to range. Given mine seems to be one of the cheaper options for a year membership, they are a bit stricter on extra safety rules. Fair trade IMO.
