[QUOTE="devildog93, post: 2908713, member: 41254"] I am not saying people need to be treated like they were in boot camp. I realize we are talking about two completely different environments. What gets me more than anything is the lack of control at most of the ranges. Range officer - really? What is he policing? Is he offering a hand to new people so they don't do something stupid? At most ranges it seems like no one is policing the firing line at all or offering a hand. As to someone yelling....well had someone been watching closer(like actually on the line watching), then perhaps when a person points a gun at someone else on the range they could be intercepted and , yes, yelled at to get their attention and have them point it down range. That is an instance where yelling might have to be used. We got one side of the story where a guy is carrying two rifles in one case and if it went down like it was told then yes the owner went a bit over the top. That being said, anyone can pull the bolts out of a m-16/ar-15 without too much of a problem, so 2 bolts in the pockets...done deal. It seems like they could have de-escalated things without making a 3rd degree scene. [/QUOTE]
