My Gun Club range is a cold range. Before you go forward of the firing line, you put your unloaded weapons down. There is no handling of weapons while people are forward of the firing line. No fiddling with sights, cleaning the weapon, bore sighting the scope.
The only time weapons are allowed to be loaded is when you are infact shooting on the line. Holstering a loaded weapon to practice draw and fire, well, OK. Just don't shoot yourself in the leg. Walking around with a holstered loaded weapon is not allowed.
Any accidental discharges that result in a death or injury, it is likely our Club will be sued by the person or the relatives of the victim and that will be the last of our Gun Club. It is not in the interest of the gun club to encourage risky behavior that will result in a court decision of negligence.
