Leaving Danvers fish and game at the end of this month after 15 years because of the assh@le range officers there. It was fine when 90 year old blind and deaf guys ran it. We now have uptight retired types that think they and their few lifer friends somehow own the place. Had a confrontation with one the other day, first time ever. Long story short I had a new guy to shooting with me. We walk in to sigh up and he's all over us with "the rules" as if a nervous first timer is going to hear all that mess being thrown at him. Right off the bat without even a gun out of the car my guest makes the mistake of leaning the target stand against the bench to staple the target to it, not a gun out of the car yet. Over the load speaker comes "get off the table". So ok he messed up, point taken. Not enough. Soon as everyone's back and firing has begun here comes stick up his ass practically running towards us, again not even a gun present. As he gets to us I say with a smile we know, sorry. He snaps at me "no you don't know!" Well that's when I finally had it. I won't go into what I said but let's just say I was bullshit and let years of frustration with this guy fly. Every little infraction I've seen him make was thrown right back at him. We didn't even shoot I was too piss*d to have any fun at this point. Worst thing is I was telling my guest how bad it had become with the range nazis the whole ride over to the place. Anyway f them. Myself and at least 4 others are leaving this June and taking our biz and any new members we would have brought in with us somewhere else. Sucks but I don't need some dink with his first little taste of what he thinks is power turning what should be a fun few hours into a stress filled time. Rant over.
Back in the final days of the S&W range there was an individual with a few of his friends renting a few lanes down from me wearing a hoodie. Now, I was inside the "walls" at the time but there were a good five or so people along the back watching people shoot, one of which being my father.
Hoodie gets a hot piece of brass flying into his hoodie, jumps and spins, sweeping the previously mentioned five people in the back with a hot gun and his finger on the trigger. The head range officer was not pleased. I believe the first words everyone heard very clearly were, "All effing weapons on the deck right now!" He then proceeded to go full R. Lee Ermy on the guy. It was truly a sight to behold and thankfully no one was hurt.

the first time my wife went shooting she was shooting a handgun. It misfired and before I could stop her - she looked down the barrel to see where it was stuck. That was YEARS ago but I remember it like yesterday. She has come a long way since then and now practices good gun safety and has her LTC-A.
I hate you today .
As I read the OP that "Jerk" might have very well gotten swept. Because you were loading a mag at the time maybe you didn't see it.
The guy came up from behind us. He indicated to me that I would be the one hurt in an accident. No way could he have been swept.
But here is where it gets real interesting: The guy says something to you about it (Gun clubs heavily promote this) and guess who ends up copping the attitude?
Yes,I want people, myself included, to be told when they making mistakes.
And to make matters even worse your Dad gets a free pass for being ex military? It is ridiculously easy to sweep someone with a firearm. I'd bet it actually happened. By your description he handled it fairly well. And your post explains why he left soon after.
My dad is former military, have some respect please. He knows how to handle a gun, no free pass needed, because as I stated I don't believe he swept anyone. Barrel was pointing towards the ground. Guy was carrying his things to a locker when approached me, he was already leaving.
Sounds like you are that guy, short, blond, condescending sneer?

Absolutely.....I love the boom of a mosin 91-30......so much that my next gun will be a mosin m44! Those suckers really go booooooom!
Hell yeah that's what I'm talking about!Yeah they do. Warwickben and I always bring pairs of mosins and a variety of ammo to compare. The last time we went shooting the T53 muzzle blast was blowing snow off the damn roof.
