incident at local pistol range.

Three lies women should NEVER believe:

Of course I will still love you in the morning.

Don't worry, I always use a condom.

I am a man, I know all about guns.

I don't know why some people think you can't run a safe range without a RO constantly pacing the line. It would make me paranoid. And one shot every three seconds? Wow. Let's take the fun out of shooting! Now I'm not advocating emptying magazines as fast as you can pull the trigger but I see nothing wrong with double taps.

I think it's because where I grew up we'd just take our guns out to a local sand pit or gravel pit, set up targets and shoot. That's it. Didn't have anyone constantly looking over my shoulder. Didn't need it. I guess that's why it's a bit alien to me.

The ranges I go to now are outdoors. Sign the basic "don't be stupid" safety list and off you go. Around here people police themselves pretty well. I guess that is not the case everywhere.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - don't know how this applies, pretty stupid post, more important - denigrating to Women... Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz:rolleyes:
 
As a motorcycle rider of 43 years and close to 300,000 accident-free miles, I like the analogy several on this thread have drawn. I didn't get this far in one piece by relaxing on the road, and I never relax at the range either. Mine usually has at least two range officers working, but unless the place is crowded, like on a weekend, they are usually in the shack ... that's why I only shoot on weekdays, when the range is pretty empty and most of those there are older and know what they're doing. Since many states don't require much of anything other than a fee for a concealed license, having one hardly qualifies you as a trainer. When my wife and I bought a Mossberg 500 for home defense, I hired a police trainer to teach us both how to use it. He spent two of our six hours on safely; we both handled the gun unloaded and repeatedly demonstrated safe operation before we went on to actually shoot it. would you try to rebuild your car engine yourself? leave that -- and training loved ones to handle weapons -- to the experts. IMHO, o'course ...
 
All ranges need a RO

While this may be true I don't know of a single Indoor range in south florida that has one. Outdoors yes, not indoors. Unless you count the guy at the register looking through a plexiglass windows.
 
My range usually has 3 or 4 employee's with one RO in the range area most of the time, he wearing a class III body armor (Not fully bullet proof:eek:). There is Video camera's, and other RO behind glass at the counter with in sight.

Of course, this is Vegas, I lot of Foreigner's come to shoot, because they can't have gun's in there country. A lot of them like to spend big buck's shooting a machine gun under strict supervision.

That usually why I go on Monday's because they're not real busy.:D They all fly out on Sunday or Monday and coming in on Tuesday.
 
No range officer...but you must sign a disclaimer. Won't help the hole in your arm, but may clear the establishment in a court of law.
