I was looking to visit a range that had rules about no loaded guns except in the portal. (Quote in that rule: "This is a cold range")
Also I've heard some forum members mention that they don't like the "cold range" concept. (Quote: "All ranges should be hot ranges")
etc...
I thought they were range commands that allowed live fire or not. But from the usage I've heard more recently, they sound like they are a permanent state of being for some ranges.
What specifically defines these terms?
