Was this a photo of the person making the claim?

Every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, the shots start ringing out at 11 a.m. from the 80-year-old Pacific Rod and Gun Club on the shores of San Francisco's Lake Merced, sending loud booms across the western half of the city.
Club members and other shooters trickle in all afternoon, unloading their shotguns and dogs, donning their hunting vests and making their way up a set of rickety stairs to the clubhouse. There, they plunk down their fees - $8 per 25-shot round for nonmembers and $4 for members - and head out to the trap and skeet fields.
But the prospect of shutting the gun club has some people steaming mad and others celebrating. In a city that voted three years ago to ban handguns entirely, many residents may be surprised that a gun club exists - and some of its critics are hoping to seize on the anti-firearm sentiment.

Since when does a shotgun qualify as a handgun?
Since you can carry it in your hands.
That’s logical, using Kalifornia logic, I suppose.
How dare they USE the 2nd amendment. /sarc
This is what is really irking the libs. They hate it when they cannot dictate how public land is used.
You are a braver soul than I. I couldn’t stand to live there.
That's Universal GunGrabber logic.
The pistol and rifle club I frequent is being surrounded by development. We’ve already endured the “I found a bullet in my backyard” claim. I’m thinking it’s just a matter of time before we’re shut down. The good news is the land is worth millions. The bad news is, so is every other place we could buy to put up a range.
The western half of the city must be about 400 yards across.
Just have a gay only night at the club....Come to think of it...all those gays shooting guns...forget about it!

Nope. He’s holding rounds. It was a bullet they claimed they found. ;^)
The dude at station 1 has bad form.
She says she can’t garden on weekends because of the noise, and is often forced to drive to the other side of the city to walk her dog, who is terrified by the cacophony.
Her dog is as big a nutcase as she is.
“What do they need dogs for?”
How about to familiarize the dogs with the sound of guns. And,also, so the dog gets a truck ride.
Many residents of Greenbelt, MD (oh boy the hippies) are suprised to learn that they live very close to a state run trap and skeet park carved out of federal land (Ag center/NASA). They never heard it either.
Anyway, lots of hunters bring their dogs to condition them to the sound of gunfire, I suppose.
That’s the infamous “elderly Iraqi woman” AFP photo.
You have a realistic and sensible attitude. Good for you.
But if you started one late, I guess it makes sense!
(I was just grumbling at the idiot reporter. I shot skeet quite seriously B.C. (that's "Before Children" lol), and I never saw a dog on the skeet and trap ranges. If I took either of my pups there they would be going crazy, not because of the gunfire, but because they would be totally frustrated at having nothing to pick up!)
So can an M72 LAW but that don't make it a handgun.
