Thread: Range Idiots...

Very nice. Makes me glad my Pop taught me well from the get-go!

Very funny song, and well performed, too. The guy clearly has some talent.


If you sweep someone accidentally, I'm willing to accept an apology, but I'll certainly be watching you. If you do it a second time I'm going to see it as a pattern. You're absent minded and you shouldn't be at the range until you can learn to focus on what you're doing. I probably won't go to the range with you again.

However, I absolutely refuse to go to a range with or even socialize with people who don't take gun safety seriously. In other words, if you think pointing an 'unloaded' gun at someone is a source of entertainment, or you think it's funny to crank off a few rounds while your buddies have their hearing protection hanging around their necks, then you don't belong anywhere near me or anyone else for that matter. Guns are serious, if you can't treat them that way then you're no friend of mine. The Second Amendment doesn't give you the right to be an asshole.

Correct, that's what the First Amendment does!

As a range safety officer at a lacal public range I deal with this all the time. The most common offenders are the ones that want to mess with stuff on the bench during a cease fire. Most people that sweep the line learn after the first time it gets brought to thier attention. Buy it seems like every shift I work there some chowder head that needs to get off the shooting line while people are down range.
