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.

Yeah some ranges don’t require chamber flags but it’s always good practice and makes the RSO jobs easier. If you go to any firearm convention or most gun shows chambers flags are required so it’s nothing new man.

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.
