Scooter123,
That's an interesting idea, but a bad habit.
It's a good habit to close the charging handle every time you lock the bolt open. This way you never close the bolt with the charging handle back. Closing the bolt with the handle back could damage the gun or injure the operator.
When clearing a range, the RSO should be looking at the chamber, not the handle. Yes, the charging handle being back could indicate the bolt being locked back or it could be a broken handle. If I were an RSO, and I am, I would never rely on that. A bolt locked back is a bolt locked back. This cannot be mistaken for anything else.
Will this action accelerate your acceptance into a range? I doubt it.
