i have seen several guys loading and carrying guns to the rear bench out of cases and i will usually politely ask them to keep in case or point to the range rules.
one day i noticed a guy behind me with 3 1911 laying on the rear counter and he was apparently having trouble with them. they were out of cases and he was cursing at them. i stepped back from the line after placing my weapon in the case and said nice set of 1911. he started to tell me that he was having trouble with the 2 he just purchased. i looked at them and he had 2 colts and a kimber. isaid very nice whats the problem. he told me that the mags will not lock in and stay. he starts to show me at the rear bench and i asked him to case them unless the were at the line.
he then proceeded to explain again that the mags will not lock. he picked up the used colt he had bought and had it pointed at my chest while trying to release a mag. he dropped the mag and it was loaded of course.
idiot im thinking. asked him to please not aim the weapon at me and keep it on the line. idiot had a compacpt kimber and bought to full frame colts and the mags were to short. 7 rds i guess and would not lock in to the full frame? i helped him out and he cased them so i went back to shooting.
as im shooting i hear banging on the glass and turn around to see the same fool loading a 44 mag revolver behind me and again its pointed at me. i started to pack my **** and was very upset. the guy working the range came in yelling at him and he insisted that he was safe and had his cpl. who gives a **** i said, you are unfit to be here and i dont want to be here with you around so i was about to leave when the worker asked him to leave. he had the nerve to say he was in the right and would not admit any wrong. thought he could just wave a firearm around loaded because he had a cpl? i do not wish to run into anymore idiots like this again.
