The shooter world is often their worst enemy

It might come to a time when some gun ranges will specify that fluorescent clothing must be worn on the range. All of our SRSO's at our range wear a blaze orange vest while on duty.

I work in construction surveying...where all the construction sites require wearing a yellow fluorescent vest, safety glasses and work boots. Until that time comes...I'll still be happy wearing my warm camo outfits in the wintertime and thin layered camo when its warm.

What I do think is proper protocol at ranges....is no shooting at real photo's of people --- which is also a range rule out our range --- Though some years back, a former RSO gave me permission to shoot at a photo target of OBL; while I was over at the pistol range one day.
 
In PA the Game Commission ranges used to be open to anyone. Now you either must have a hunting license on you or a permit that you buy. This is a direct result of idiots with semi autos trying to cut down the supporting framework of the targets and just to thin out the "Riffraff". The "Riffraff" is a direct quote from a Game Warden that was up there one day. I go by percentages. Waaay more than 50% of the time you can ID riffraff by the way they are dressed. If that is the image you want to project, than do not complain. There is a movement in PA to allow semi-auto guns to hunt with. I hunt with a semi out of state sometimes and really have no problem with it, but some of the the trash that is in the movement is their biggest problem. Most get online and act like spoiled 10 year olds and offend everyone they "Think" is against them. I really was not against them, but am now. I know what I am talking about and do not need to hear the "We all must stick together" crap. Around here we just went through the Eric Frein thing. I won't lower myself to "Stick together" for those types.
 
or we could suggest and encourage avoiding looking and acting extreme so as to have a respectable position in the public's view. No police necessary.

How can we purge the gun community, then?
 
I shoot alot in my yard I never shoot on Sundays and always look to see if my neighbors are outside enjoying time out side , if they are I will hold off shooting until they go back inside or are not home then shoot .
That is some ways to keep a good image of shooters . For a grown Man to be so worried about what another is wearing is just plain..... strange to me .
As far as apearing extreme you better beleave those that would take away your freedom to make themselfs feel warm and fuzzie are extreme and they wear suit's and tie's .
One thing about shooting at home is you can see my range from the road and torso targets standing there with the face and mid section shot out keeps prowlers away .
 
How does the way a person dress fuel anti-gun sentiments? Are anti-gun people standing around gun ranges? I would imagine that the only people who sees the people at the range are other people at the range.

Actually, yes. They're usually obvious trolls, but they're out there. Usually, they attempt to start questionable conversations, for which they record video or audio.
