In the world of the internet, most people now register online to save the extra hassle. Details are sent through a secure server and downloaded into the buildings main booking system each morning. The customer can then collect their membership card at any time, or they can have the card sent via post. If the applicant is bringing their own firearms and equipment, they can also attach their bank details so the hourly fee can be deducted upon entering the firing lanes, allowing them to skip the lines entirely.
To register requires that the applicant has a clean criminal record, are not wanted by Police, and has no registered mental disorder that would affect their judgement. If they do, online, the applicant will be informed of the reason for refusal, while at the registration desk, customers will be gently turned away with an explanation as to the reason why. Customers are asked not to be offended if refused, the range operates under city and federal laws and has no say in the matter.
If the check is clear, the customer details are stored on the range's personal database and the applicant becomes a member, complete with a fancy membership card that has an NFC chip that allows access to the building and firing lanes. There are no fees, but they will be cleared from the system after 6 months if they haven't returned in that time and will have to re-register. Occasional checks are made on existing members to ensure they haven't received any criminal charges, etc, and this usually happens a couple of times a month.
