This is true. They had a couple NDs.
To me, when I have gone to a sleep away gun school, I didn't bring my guns into the room anyway (other than the one I was wearing). I was too tired to mess with them. I usually shower, eat, and sleep. No time for anything else.

Yeah, they provide water, gatoraide, first aid kit, as well as eye and ear protection if you forgot yours or whatever. I sometimes use their foam ear plugs because I get tired of using my ear muffs. My electronic muffs went tango uniform and I haven't sprung for a new pair yet. Rifles are much easier shot with no ear muffs.

At least in Pahrump, your hotel and restraunts will be right there together. At Gunsite, you have to drive a considerable distance to go to a restruant. Of course, if you stay in a hotel you have to drive an equal amount away from the facility, but I rent a space in a home right outside the gate and just cook my meals there.

In the books you have read How the British Regulars fired and fled, How the farmers gave them ball for ball, From behind each fence and farmyard wall, Chasing the redcoats down the lane, Then crossing the fields to emerge again Under the trees at the turn of the road, And only pausing to fire and load.
