Shortest Gun Range Visit

good job by the RO, get those morons out of there

What a crap ass situation for the RO to be in. Imaging if when he went to redirect the firearm to a safe direction, he caused the person holding it to fire off a round.

ugh.

i am not a RSO, don't play one on TV, but looks like he immediately grabbed the forearm on the r/h side. smart--RSO paid attention in class.
 
WOW !!! Training opportunity.

Yeah. CPR and field med training after you stomp a mudhole in his hiney. Talk about extra-stupid.

I know, maybe the guy just doesn't know. Maybe he has his bud stand in front of his car and stands on the gas and brake simultaneously too - just to be funny. Sneaks food into casseroles that he knows the buddy is allergic to.

This is NOT F'ING FUNNY! Mudhole. Apply bandage accordingly.
 
Here's the story behind the video, not that we didn't already figure it out...

A gun range in Houston has banned two men after one of them held a gun to the other's head in an ill-conceived photo op.

Top Gun Range posted security footage of the Oct. 5 incident to Facebook on Wednesday in the hope that it "could be a valuable training tool."

One of the customers brought his own gun into the range for him and his friend to shoot, the business wrote online. The two were given a breakdown of safety protocols.

The video shows one of the men holding the gun, which reportedly was not loaded, close to his chest and near his face as he takes a selfie with his cell phone.

As the man next to him appears to grab something from the counter the man holding the firearm aims the gun at his friend's head, still while seemingly taking photos of himself.

Suddenly, a range safety officer — who was teaching a safety class just feet away — appears and slams the man holding the gun's hand down to the counter. He "caught it, took the weapon, cleared it and escorted them off the fire line immediately," general manager of the range, Kyle Harrison, told KHOU.

"Taking pictures is OK, but you just have to do it safely," Harrison said, adding that "you have to assume every firearm is loaded. You don't want to point it at something you want to destroy, and he was pointing it at his friend's head."

He reiterated that guns are "not toys," and should be taken seriously. That's all the time — no exceptions for a quick laugh or an extreme selfie.


The two range customers were banned from the business for life.

 
Looks like just another day at MFL

That would be funny if it were not true.... my wife and I had a very unpleasant experience at the old facility that had us pack and leave before a Darwin Award was issued to the group 2 lanes down
 
Looks like just another day at MFL

At the old facility, I has some Mass Yahoos in the next Lane shooting the target 10 feet out. They
Hit the target hanger and a bullet fragment came back and hit me in the cheek, drawing Blood!
I was not on the range 5 minutes before this happened.

I told a friend that I had got shot in the face. She thought I took the whole round. So now I get to claim some street cred!
