Ok, not really on topic, but I will say I am not the tiniest but shy about minding others business when at my gun club.
Nearly every visit, I see safety violations. Actually, about the only times I don’t see some is when I have one of the ranges to myself.
And there’s no excuse. Everyone goes through orientation, and the freakin rules are posted right there on the range. Detailing by firearm type what condition your weapon must be in before anyone goes down range.
Last visit I returned from down range and went to pick up the range clear flag, lo and behold, there’s the muzzle of a Yugo Mauser, bolt closer & cocked, pointed at my groin.
I’m sure I embarrassed the heck out of the young man in front of his friend & girl friend, but hopefully that made the lesson sink in.
All it takes is one accident to ruin it for everybody, not to mention ruin lives.
