Range Safety...loony birds were out!
Posted: Mon May 22, 2006 12:38 pm
Hit the range again yesteday...had two loonies in next to my wife's lane...they kept reloading their 38 revolver from their WWB box on the 'ready table' when you walk in (rather than on the lane area)....so this one guys just waving around ...talking on his cell...loading/dropping his .38s on the floor and going back up to his buddy's lane. I finally safetied my handgun on the lane table and grabbed the WWB box and moved it over to the lane....this is like after twice asking them to move their ammo.....the rangemaster had been watching the whole thing...
By then my wife has already packed up...and left.
The Rangemaster came in and talked to them and took the cell phone away to the front office. After he left; one of the guys came up to me and asked...."Can I shoot my shotgun here".....to which I replied, " not with me in the room...." (this after the muzzle went right across my body from the ready table), packed up and watched him from outside. He could not even properly load nor fire the shotgun...
The Rangemaster went back in as I was leaving and sat/worked with them til after I tried on a new vest, n finally checked out....i.e. quite awhile.
Guess another good lesson to keep your eyes open all times and kudos for a strong Rangemaster!
