I did not find a single good place to post this, so I will post it here.
As much as I believe it is your right to arm yourself, two very immature people led me to believe that some people should just not be allowed to have a gun.
I went to a new range today, it is closer than the one I usually go to, so I thought 'why not?'
The worker was very nice, and I was happy they they allowed rapid fire, although no lead allowed, except for .22's and the targets were mechanized, so that was nice as well.
I took my girlfriend with me, and we had a great first 20 minutes, nobody else there, then in walk two people, no older than 23 or 24. Very, very irresponsible!
The guy took out a gun from somewhere, and then I saw her pull a gun out of her purse and she did not realize it but pointed it directly at me as she was doing it and it was loaded.
First off both of their firearms should have been properly stored while bringing them into this particular range, as it is a rule posted at the door.
This girl had no clue how to operate a handgun and she is shooting a .45, she kept whining the entire time cause it was jamming, and loaded it in the place that has big large bold letters saying 'load at your firing station'.
Keep in mind as she is loading this gun, she has it point right at us, I just shook my head in disgust, and walked to a safer area.
She continued to walk back and forth between the two areas, while she plays around with the thing like it is a water pistol and she is some type of charlies angel.
Her boyfriend wasn't much better with his behavior either, both me and my girlfriend grew extremely uncomfortable around these two, they couldn't hit a target from 15 feet out and couldnt handle their firearms properly, loaded or unloaded.
There were two red beacon lights that the worker can turn on if he sees dangerous behavior, but he never turned them on, I had moved down some distance by this time and they left within ten minutes, I think her gun jammed and they couldnt fix it. She proceeded to put the gun back in her purse jammed and loaded, in no type of holster, with the safety off, moron.
Anyway I continue to shoot, and left sometime after, I made a comment to the employee, but he was too busy playing around on his computer to listen or care.
It goes without saying that I will not visit this range again.
And on top of it all the bastards did not clean up their brass, although I did after they left, very bad sportsmanship on their part.
I would have said something to them, but they did not look the friendliest of people, not did I think they cared.
I probably should have just left right then and their, although I did not fear for my life, but was very uncomfortable with their conduct. But hindsight is always 20/20!
Wondering if anyone else has had an experience like and addressed it immediately?
Did not want to get close to them at all, so I kept my distance.
Your thoughts?
