Negligence at the range

[Alan]

I saw someone sweep the entire firing line with a loaded gun while turning around to ask a question. Everyone hit the deck, RSO was on him instantly, and the guy got kicked out. That 180-degree muzzle sweep with his finger on the trigger could've killed someone. Safety isn't negotiable and some people shouldn't be allowed to handle firearms..

That’s terrifying, one careless second can wreck lives. Safety rules exist for a reason

Holy crap.... I remember seeing something *almost* the same years ago at the old Dominion Range off Midlothian (aka the old, ancient, D&P range).

A couple of um, uh, let's just say "non-caucasians" came in... Baseball cap sideways, pants dangling showing their underwear, etc... *you get the picture*

The two of them rented a 9mm, ammo, range time, etc... and decided to step away from the shooting lane, holding up the LOADED 9mm, up in the air, and were taking "selfies" of themselves. I lost my freakin' mind, packed up my 1911 .45 ACP and ran upstairs to complain. A person behind the counter, gazed out a plexiglass observation window and just said, "Yeah... we know. We're watching..."

Honest - even after all these years?? I haven't been back. That old place is just nasty...
