Club members do not always close and lock the gate when entering or leaving the range. Leaving the gate unlocked permits non-members to enter the range. Non-members then get locked in and either calls a member for the combination or a member has to go to the range and unlock the gate. Or the non-member takes the fence down to drive out; then a member has to fix the fence. It may be an inconvenience to close and lock the gate when entering or leaving, but it's also an inconvenience to others when they have to take care of the resulting problems. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
