    Not defending anyone but there were more than a couple non-members and a couple new shooters.

    Agreed.

    The reason I was vague on what happened and did not name names was to remind people about safety. At one point I went out to patch targets (I was not the presiding RSO) and came back to see 2 people had put 4 guns on the bench. I was upset that the 5 other people there had not stopped them from handling guns while 3 of us were downrange. This complacency gets people killed.

    It doesn't matter who they are,if the range rules say boot them,then boot them.
    Shame on the CRSO for not stepping up.

    I wasn't there, so can't comment on how things were handled.

    The safer events I've attended have briefings that are read from a script. Doesn't have to be long, and maybe the CRSO could have a similar briefing with the RSO in attendance.

    I was there, unfortunately I wasn't at the range as I was attending to MGO duties at the pavilion.

    There were at least 7 RSO's at the Range, One of which was a member of the hosting club. I know a Range briefing was given before the firing commenced and I have confidence in the RSO's that they would have ejected anyone who had violated the SOP of the hosting Range, should it have been necessary.

    Cease fire was called
    Weapons were made safe and verified by a RSO they were safe.
    Range was declared safe and we were allowed to go to the targets
    While people were downrange, some (few, not close to the majority) handled weapons.
    Others around did not find it wrong for them to handle weapons and said nothing

    Two wrongs make an accident

    What is past has happened. I wanted to remind people to be safe. I am not bashing anyone, just making sure people who did not know they were doing something unsafe, are now aware of it.

    I suggest at the next event, we have a safety talk that spells out what is expected by people on the range.
